Appachu Ranjan promises house for poor

The newly appointed Minister for Youth Service and Sports Minister M P Appachu Ranjan was accorded a warm welcome at a function organised by Kushalnagar hobli BJP unit at Raitha Samudaya Bhavana at Koodige on Sunday.

Speaking after receiving the felicitation, Ranjan said that he could get the cabinet berth with the blessings of the people and support from the BJP. “My priority will be to provide justice to the poor and labour class by responding to their problems. I will do my best to meet the expectations of the people by implementing all the necessary developmental work,” he said.

Priority will be given for the construction of houses for the poor homeless. A total of 80 acre of land including 18 acre in Koodumangalore limits has been reserved to construct houses for the poor families. The officers who perform well will be supported, while those who fail to carry out good work will be taught a lesson, said the Minister.

Zilla Panchayat President Shanteyanda Ravi Kushalappa said that with Appachu Ranjan receiving the ministerial berth it would be helpful to address the burning problems of the district.

Former MLC S G Medappa, ZP member S N Raja Rao, Rameshwara Primary Krishi Pathu Sahakara Sangha President K K Bhogappa and others were present. Appachu Ranjan received grievances from the people on the occasion.
