Maharashtra Housing Minister Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil in an interview with DNA said that the affordable housing under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana will be his priority.
"We have to reverse the present pyramid from the developer to the common man. We should not work for developers but for the common man who has helped us come at this level," said Patil. Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil, who was the leader of the Opposition, was recently inducted as a Cabinet Minister with Housing Ministry portfolio.
"Unless we change our priorities, we will not able to meet the expectations of the common man. Everyone wants to buy their dream home and as government, we will help them to fulfil their dream," said Vikhe Patil. He said that, Mumbai is an island city where open land is hardly available for further development. "The cost of the land is high in the city, therefore we will identify land at the periphery where a large number of affordable houses will be constructed," informed Patil.
