TRS Govt Didn’t Build Houses For Poor As Promised In T’gana: Kishan Reddy

Mumbai: Union Tourism Minister G Kishan Reddy on Tuesday alleged that the TRS government in Telangana did not build houses for the poor as promised.

He said that the Center has built around four crore houses across the country, while in Telangana the houses for the poor have not been built as promised, though eight years have passed and added that the Center is ready to give its share.

“The Center has built around four crore houses across the country. In the neighbouring state of Andhra Pradesh, 20 lakh houses have been built. In Telangana, the government said that we will build only double bedroom houses, not any ‘Dabba’ houses. Eight years have passed. Houses have not been built for the poor so far. I urge the state government, the Centre is ready to give their share regardless of the number of houses you build. Even if you build 50 lakh houses,” the Minister said.

He was speaking at the research farm of CRIDA (Central Research Institute for Dryland Agriculture) here, where he participated in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s national interaction program (in virtual mode) with farmers and other beneficiaries.

Reddy, who spoke in detail on several welfare schemes of the NDA government, said that the production of food grains in the country has reached a record level and agricultural exports are also increasing.

Organic farming is being promoted and agriculture tools are being provided to farmers on a large scale. The MSP for paddy and wheat has been increased substantially, he said.

Paddy procurement from Telangana has also been increased heavily, he added.
