BJP State president D. Purandeswari on August 4 said that the Central government had refused to provide funds for the construction of houses in the R-5 zone in Amaravati as the matter was pending in courts.
“Now, the imposition of a stay by the Andhra Pradesh High Court on the housing project in the zone has proved that the Central government’s decision is on the side of justice and righteousness,” Ms. Purandeswari said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
Further, Ms. Purandeswari said it was better to build residential houses for the deserving poor in their own areas in the State.
She demanded that the construction of houses sanctioned by the Central government be completed at the earliest, while pointing out that the Centre had already allotted the largest number of houses to Andhra Pradesh under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana.
