Land Development State Minister Roshan Ranasinghe said he was dissatisfied with the position assigned to him.

While assuming duties at the new ministry, Ranasinghe said he only agreed to serve in the position out of respect for the senior members of the government.

Ranasinghe was named the SLPP District Leader for Polonnaruwa but he failed to top the preferental votes list in the area.

His intra-party rival, former President Maithripala Sirisena, topped the Polonnaruwa preferential votes list with over 100000 votes.
