Telangana BJP president and Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy has urged the Congress government to immediately take up allotment of two-bedroom houses, already constructed for the poor in many parts of the twin cities.
Talking to the media after he inspected some slums at Begumpet and other parts of the city on Thursday, he said that the government should live up to its promises and showcase its commitment to the poor by taking up the housing issue without any further delay.
Mr. Reddy accused the previous BRS government of neglecting slums and focusing only on the new growth areas for improving civic infrastructure like constructing new flyovers, storm water drains, drinking water pipelines, sewer lines, etc., whereas conditions in the areas where the poor and downtrodden live had only deteriorated.
