Minister for Roads and Buildings V. Prashanth Reddy has criticised Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national president J.P. Nadda stating the latter has been speaking lies every time he visited Telangana and instead of helping the new State in any manner he has been spewing venom.
Reacting to Mr. Nadda’s allegations made at BJP’s Nagarkurnool public meeting held on Sunday, the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader said the former was repeating the same script again and again. He sought to know from the BJP president how much the Centre had contributed for the double-bedroom houses being constructed by the State Government.
Mr. Reddy explained that the Centre had given just ₹1,200 crore, while the State Government had spent ₹12,000 crore on double-bedroom houses. He stated that the State Government had taken up construction of 2,92,538 double-bedroom houses with an estimated cost of ₹19,402 crore and completed 1,92,725 of them with a cost of ₹11,853 crore.
