Kalyana Karnataka Region Development Board (KKRDB) chairman Ajay Singh and Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister Priyank Kharge have justified the appointment of an MLA as chairman of KKRDB by arguing that better coordination among the Ministers from the region will fill the gap.
When the previous BJP government had changed the rules and appointed an MLA Dattareya Patil Revoor to the KKRDB chairman’s post, which was till then meant for only a Cabinet Minister from the region, the Congress leaders had repeatedly criticised the government for downgrading the post.
Addressing a media conference after Mr. Singh took charge as chairman of KKRDB at its headquarters in Kalaburagi on Monday, they said that they will have frequent meetings of Ministers and the legislators from the region and put forward the collective decisions and demands before the Cabinet.
