The Story in Brief
Telangana revenue and housing minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy met Union rural development minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan in New Delhi on Wednesday and asked him to allocate 11.5 lakh houses under PMAY-G 2.0 in a single tranche. He submitted a representation and said chief minister A Revanth Reddy had already written a letter on the matter.
Ponguleti said a door-to-door survey through the ‘Awaas Plus, 2024’ app identified over 11.5 lakh eligible rural poor families. He claimed house construction had stalled under the previous government and requested that all pending units be sanctioned at once. The state provides Rs 5 lakh per family as financial assistance, and Ponguleti urged separate central help in addition to the regular state share under PMAY-G.
The Indian Opinion
The usual blame game between state and centre over pending houses revives every time Telangana raises this demand. Ponguleti says the previous government stalled construction, but the current one has done a survey and provides Rs 5 lakh per family. The test is whether the Union minister will release all 11.5 lakh units at once, or dribble them out over years. The number of houses actually built in the next six months will tell who is serious about rural housing.
