Hyderabad: Congress to hold protests from April on 2BHKs

Hyderabad: Congress MP from Malkajgiri A Revanth Reddy on Sunday said that the party would take up agitations at the collectorates if the government fails to handover 2BHK houses to the applicants by April.

Addressing the media, he said that the construction of 2BHKs should be completed on war footing and if required senior IPS officials should be appointed to oversee the construction.

He asked the Chief Minister as to why the people of the State were still languishing in poverty even after six years of completing power in Telangana State.

Rebutting criticism by the TRS leaders that he would always target them out of personal grudge, Revanth Reddy asked them as to why the problems of the people of the State were not being solved.

He alleged that the TRS leaders had given away the houses built by the Union government by painting them during Congress rule. He said the TRS government had not given even a single house in its six years' long rule.

Alleging that the TRS government had diverted the funds released from NABARD, Revanth Reddy said the funds of the Central government were also diverted by the State government.

Alleging that the Swachh Bharat programme was not being implemented in Hyderabad properly, Revanth Reddy said the people in the State capital were living in worse condition than animals.

He said that a total of 26 lakh families, including 10 lakh from State capital and six lakh from his Malkajgiri constituency have no houses of their own. He also alleged that the State government was not sanctioning funds for contractors of the double bed-room houses.
