Union Minister G Kishan Reddy announced that the Centre has approved construction of two lakh houses in Telangana under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin (PMAY-G) for 2026-27. Reddy said Telangana could not benefit earlier because the previous BRS government did not participate in the 2018 PMAY-G Awas Survey. He credited his own efforts and those of Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan for the approval.
Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy met Chouhan in Madhapur on Friday and thanked him for the two lakh houses. He urged the Centre to sanction the remaining 9.56 lakh houses for 11,56,915 eligible families. Revanth also briefed Chouhan on the impact of El Nino conditions on agriculture and sought central support for drinking water, electricity, and crop diversification.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The Hindu leads with the Centre's approval of 2 lakh houses and blames the previous BRS government for delays, framing the story as a central government achievement. Times of India and New Indian Express lead with CM Revanth's request for 9.56 lakh more houses and his meeting with Chouhan, framing the story as ongoing state-Centre negotiation. The Hindu omits the CM's request for additional houses, the other two omit the BRS survey failure. A balanced reading: the Centre has sanctioned 2 lakh houses, the state wants 9.56 lakh more, and the political blame game is separate from the housing need.
Chouhan said construction will begin soon and the Centre will continue supporting Telangana.
