Speaking to media persons after inspecting a housing colony at Ramaswamy Gutta in Huzurnagar town on Tuesday, Uttam Kumar Reddy criticized the previous BRS regime for completely neglecting the housing sector over the last 10 years. He said the hype was created around the 2BHK housing scheme, which in reality proved to be a ‘jumla‘ and a hollow promise. He accused the previous government, headed by K Chandrashekhar Rao, of cheating homeless people and not delivering anything. Instead, the KCR government stalled housing projects for weaker sections initiated during Congress rule.

Citing an example, Uttam Kumar Reddy mentioned that the Indiramma housing project in Huzurnagar town, with 2,160 units, was started in 2013-14 when he was the housing minister in the Congress government. “The BRS government kept the project in abeyance for 10 years, possibly due to the belief that the credit would come to me. Immediately after coming to power in December 2023, I revived the projects and expedited the works, which are now in an advanced stage of construction. We are likely to hand over 2,160 units to homeless people in the next three months,” he said.

Uttam Kumar Reddy stated that the Congress government was prioritizing SC, ST, BC, and minorities in the Indiramma housing scheme. Under the scheme, the plan is to construct a total of 4.5 lakh houses for Rs 22,000 crore, with at least 3,500 houses in each constituency. These houses will be 400 sq. ft. with RCC roofing, a kitchen, and a toilet. This financial year, an amount of Rs 7,740 crores has been allocated for the housing scheme. Further, eligible people owning land will be provided financial assistance of Rs 5 lakhs for the construction of a house, with people belonging to Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe communities receiving Rs 6 lakhs.

Uttam Kumar Reddy also criticized the BJP-led NDA Government at the Centre for completely neglecting Telangana in central housing schemes like Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY). He said that unlike the BRS and BJP, the Congress has a different approach to resolving the problems faced by the people. While the BRS and BJP focus only on publicity, the Congress believes in delivering on the promises made to the people. For this reason, he said, sufficient budget allocations were made to fulfill each promise, along with setting a clear deadline for the accomplishment of targets.

He also participated in a rally organized by Madiga Reservation Porata Samithi (MRPS) to celebrate the Supreme Court’s verdict in favor of the categorization of Scheduled Castes. The MRPS leaders felicitated Uttam Kumar Reddy for his significant support and contribution to the legal and political fight to achieve the categorization of SCs. (Maxim News)
