Implement PMAY, Ayushman Bharat soon in Telangana: Bandi Sanjay

‘KCR interacts with people only during elections,’ the State BJP chief alleged.

State BJP president Bandi Sanjay Kumar demanded the TRS government to immediately start implementing the Prime Minister’s Awas Yojana (PMAY) for building houses to the poor and also ‘Ayushman Bharat’ as he alleged that it has now become clear that the State govt. has totally failed in constructing the promised two-bedroom houses for the poor and the COVID pandemic has hit common people hard with high medical bills in the absence of the ‘Arogyasri’. “People have been coming forward voluntarily on their own in last couple of days to pour out their tale of woes on how the government has left them in the lurch during COVID pandemic, how they have been cheated on the promise of two-bedroom houses and about no help for loss of livelihoods. We are going to give suggestions after this padayatra in good faith for the government to accept - or it should be ready to face people’s wrath,” he said, on Monday. The BJP chief, on his third day of the ‘Praja Sangrama Yatra’ - questioned at a press conference why Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao does not interact with people except for hosting lunches before the bypolls. He alleged that hundreds of crores of bills to private hospitals under Arogyasri have been kept pending whereas the government hospitals lack proper manpower and infrastructure, leaving citizens in a bind.
