Telangana BJP State president Bandi Sanjay Kumar requested the Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar to ensure that the funds released to Telangana under Agricultural Infrastructure Fund are spent transparently.
Speaking to media people here during his ongoing state-wide 'padayatra', Kumar, a Lok Sabha member, said the Centre has sanctioned more than two lakh houses to Telangana.
The Centre has sought a list of beneficiaries under the yojana, but the TRS government has not furnished, he alleged. He said the AIF is meant to transform and strengthen the lives of farmers in the country. He expressed doubts about the misuse of the Central funds under the scheme in Telangana and sought the Union Agriculture Minister to take steps to ensure that the State government implements the scheme transparently.
Demanding that the TRS government clarify the number of double bedroom houses built for the poor, he claimed he raised the matter during a meeting on urban development and a state official admitted that only 8,000 houses were built in urban areas by the state government. At least now, the TRS government should cooperate in building houses under the PM Awas Yojana, he said.
