Former Karimnagar MP Ponnam Prabhakar and a host of key functionaries of the District Congress Committee (DCC) were allegedly placed under house arrest while they were planning to visit the double bedroom houses at Chintakunta near here on Sunday morning.
According to party sources, the planned visit of the Congress leaders was intended to expose the ‘inordinate delay’ in allotment of double bedroom houses to the eligible poor people.
In a statement, Mr. Prabhakar alleged that a meagre 660 double bedroom housing units were constructed in Karimnagar Assembly constituency in the last nine years as against around 15,000 applications submitted by poor people for a roof over their heads.
