CM launches Indiramma housing scheme in Bhadrachalam; 4.50 lakh houses sanctioned with an outlay of ₹22,500 crore

Chief Minister Revanth Reddy launches Indiramma housing scheme in Bhadradri Kothagudem, providing homes for the homeless poor.

Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has said the launch of Indiramma housing scheme was further testament to the Congress government’s commitment to the welfare of poor and its unwavering resolve to usher in Indiramma Rajyam.

As many as 4.50 lakh houses have been sanctioned with an outlay of ₹22,500 crore to provide a roof over the heads of the homeless poor people under the scheme, he said after formally launching the Indiramma housing scheme in Telangana’s famous temple town of Bhadrachalam in Bhadradri Kothagudem district on Monday afternoon.

The Chief Minister unveiled the Indiramma house design model and issued pattas to some of the beneficiaries in the name of women on the occasion.

Addressing a huge gathering, the Chief Minister alleged that the BJP government at the Centre and the previous BRS government had belied the hopes of thousands of homeless poor people in the State in the last ten years.

What happened to the objective of providing houses to all eligible poor people under the Prime Minister Awas Yojana (PMAY) by 2022? he said, daring the BJP State leaders to show how many houses were constructed under the PMAY in Telangana so far.

The BRS publicised its much-touted 2BHK scheme in all the elections in the last ten years but the previous government failed to deliver on its promise of providing roof over the heads of homeless poor people, he charged. Former Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao shattered the dreams of homeless poor people with hollow promises, he alleged.

He said, “Own house is a symbol of self-respect, and the previous Congress governments translated the commitment of “Indiramma” to the welfare of poor people into concrete action by constructing Indiramma houses in a big way in the past.
