Development works will not be affected by any obstacles including denial of State’s rightful share, said Finance Minister K.N. Balagopal here on Sunday.
He was inaugurating a public meeting in connection with the construction of Taluk hospital at Pathanapuram with modern facilities. Health Minister Veena George laid the foundation stone while Transport Minister and Pathanapuram MLA K.B. Ganesh Kumar presided over the function.
“Kerala accounts for 42% of Public Service Commission appointments made across India. Realising this, the people are supporting the government and it is evident in the elections. The State has spent ₹1,68,000 crore for various welfare schemes and calling it extravagance is not acceptable,” said Mr. Balagopal.
