Vijayawada: Housing minister Kolusu Parthasarathy said the previous YSR Congress government has failed to complete the task of house construction. Hence, Telugu Desam government is taking up the responsibility of constructing those houses.
Speaking to media, he said their government is likely to change the names of these housing colonies. “There is no contribution of YSR Congress government in the housing scheme, as central government funds had been utilised for construction of these houses,” the minister remarked.
He complained that the previous government neglected handing over more than 90 per cent of TIDCO houses built during 2014–19 to their beneficiaries in urban areas. He clarified that they will complete the rest of the TIDCP works and hand them over to the beneficiaries as soon as possible.
