Andhra Pradesh government building 31 lakh houses for poor, says CMVIJAYAWADA: Chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy said that the government was committed to provide houses to the poor across the state. He said that the government has taken up construction of 30.76 lakh houses in the state.

The chief minister made a statement in the assembly on Thursday during short discussion on housing programme. He said that the government had acquired 71,811 acres of land in the state which is worth Rs 25,000 crore. He further said that the government is building 17,005 colonies across the state. In the first phase, the government is spending Rs 28,000 crore to build 15.6 lakh houses.

The chief minister said that the government was giving assets worth over Rs 4 lakh to Rs 10 lakh to each family. The government was using a total of 71 lakh tonnes of cement, 312 lakh tonnes of sand, 7.5 lakh tonnes of steel, 1,250 crore bricks in the project. This activity would play a vital role in boosting the rural economy and will be a game changer in increasing GSDP, the chief minister said.

Jagan came down heavily on TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu and alleged that the leaders had tried to stall the initiative by moving courts. He said that the opposition party had even stalled the programme in Pulivendula.

However, he said that the legal tangles are being cleared. He said the housing schemes during the TDP term were laden with corruption and inflated costs.

Citing the previous government’s housing module as pathetic, he said that only 215 sq ft house was offered in the past, while the current government is providing a constructed house in an area of 340 sq ft. The TDP’s housing scheme burdened the poor, as they need to pay Rs 3 lakh loan amount for 20 long years with a monthly installment of Rs 3,000.

The chief minister said that the government has been implementing the scheme in a transparent manner, without leaving out any eligible beneficiary, where even the public representative can go around confidently in their constituencies. He said that Rs 32,909 crore is being spent on creating facilities like drinking water, drains, roads power supply, internet, along with schools, hospitals, village secretariats, RBKs, digital libraries which will be established over a period of time.

He said that the government was going ahead with centralised procurement for construction materials to reduce the cost and get quality material.
