CPI district secretary M. Pydiraju on Thursday urged the State government to complete construction of the TIDCO houses and hand them over to beneficiaries at the earliest.
“The State government is allocating ₹1.80 lakh while the beneficiary must bear ₹35,000 for construction of the house. It is impossible to get a house constructed for ₹2.15 lakh. The government must provide ₹5 lakh for each house,” Mr. Pydiraju demanded.
Addressing an all-party meeting on the issue organised by the CPI at Visakha Public Library on Thursday, Mr. Pydiraju alleged that many beneficiaries are selling off the allotted lands as they are unable to arrange for their share of the money. “The lands are being purchased surreptitiously by YSRCP leaders. Many beneficiaries who have been allotted lands in the city outskirts are dependent on daily labour which will force them to travel into the city every day. How can these people live so far from the city?” he questioned.
TDP leader Md. Nazeer said that the TDP government had built 3.13 lakh houses for the poor at six places. The YSRCP government, after coming to power, has just given the houses a coat of paint and is claiming credit for their construction,” he alleged.
Leaders from Congress and Lok Satta Party also attended the roundtable.
