Puttur: The first-time MLA Ashok Kumar Rai of Puttur has asserted that he will keep the development of the Puttur Assembly constituency above politics.
We don’t do politics in development, and don’t indulge in hate politics. He spoke at a workers’ meeting held at the Congress Election Officer in Puttur on May 16.
After taking the oath, I will call a meeting of officers in Puttur. The rainy season has started and I am going to inform the officials about the agenda to be carried out during the rainy season. I am going to provide a corruption-free administration in Puttur and solve the pending files at the village level and give them to the public on the spot, he said.
One of the important works that need to be done on an urgent basis is the work of distributing legalised 94C rights at the village level, he asserted.
Puttur Block Congress President M. B. Vishwanath Rai said that BJP’s protest drama has started in Puttur just as the Congress victory in Puttur began. We have the power to face the BJP, he added.
