The Union government by giving paltry sums to beneficiaries to construct their own dwellings has made people living below the poverty line suffer, said Congress MP Karthi Chidambaram here on Thursday.
The Union government by giving paltry sums to beneficiaries to construct their own dwellings has made people living below the poverty line suffer, said Congress MP Karthi Chidambaram here on Thursday.
Speaking to reporters, he said that the Centre and State governments put together gave a sum of ₹2.40 lakh to each of the beneficiary selected under the PM Housing Scheme. However, this money was insufficient. Hence, the beneficiaries had to borrow further. “We had raised this issue in the Parliament, but the Centre doesn’t seem to be listening,” he charged.
