Telangana seeks 11.56 lakh PMAY-G houses in single tranche

The Story in Brief
Telangana Housing and Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy has urged Union Rural Development Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan to allot 11.56 lakh houses to the state in a single tranche under PMAY-G 2.0. He met Chouhan in New Delhi on Wednesday and submitted a formal representation, as The Times of India reports. The minister said a door-to-door survey using the Awaas Plus-2024 app identified 11.5 lakh eligible rural poor families, but the central target announcement has been delayed for a year, according to The Hindu.
Ponguleti claimed construction for the poor was stalled under the previous state government. He noted the state government already provides Rs 5 lakh per family and sought separate central assistance under the scheme.
The Indian Opinion
With Ponguleti Reddy blaming the previous BRS government for stalled construction, the narrative risks becoming just another Centre-State score-settling match. The real test is whether the Union government actually has the funds to clear 11.56 lakh houses at once, or if this is a symbolic demand. Watch the next PMAY-G allocation list for Telangana's share, not the press releases.
