Congress lashes out at TRS over housing scheme
The Congress leadership in the State went hammer and tongs at the Telangana Rashtra Samithi government demanding that pending bills for an estimated 4.90 lakh beneficiaries of the Indiramma housing programme for the weaker sections be cleared without any more loss of time.The Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee had planned an elaborate protest campaign across the State. The primary contention of the opposition is that because pending bills were not yet cleared, the poor people are staying in unfinished houses for a long time now, left open to the vagaries of nature.While TPCC president N. Uttam Kumar Reddy was in his home constituency of Huzurnagar (Nalgonda district), at Madhira and Wyra in Khammam, the protests were held under the leadership of TPCC working president Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, while MLC Ponguleti Sudhakar Reddy participated in the protest at Sattupalli of Khammam district.Other places where Congress leaders were present in the protests include J. Geeta Reddy (Zaheerabad-Ranga Reddy), D.K. Aruna (Gadwal-Mahbubnagar), Sunita Laxma Reddy (Narsapur-Medak), Ponnam Prabhakar and Nerella Sharada (Karimnagar), Mahesh Kumar Goud (Nizamabad) and Gandra Venkatramana Reddy in Warangal.
