This region too needs development and the NPP-led government wants to bring the administration more closely to the people.” Danggo expressed happiness with the announcement by the Chief Minister to upgrade Ranikor administrative unit to a sub-division. “I will resign as a member of the Congress and the assembly once the Chief Minister declares that Ranikor is being upgraded to a sub-division.” Danggo, a former Public Works Department minister has been in touch with the NPP leadership and had expressed his desire to join NPP even before going to the Assembly polls.
