PANAJI: Minister of State (MoS) for Power Shripad Naik today said that he was satisfied with the portfolio allocation.
Naik was speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a function at Panaji.

“I have been now appointed as the Minister of State for Power and this is all due to the blessings of the people. All these years, the people have strongly stood by me and shown their faith in me and I have been the minister for various departments in the past as well.
