The Opposition Congress in Madhya Pradesh alleged that due to the anti-poor psyche of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Government of the State over three lakh families are compelled to live under the open sky.
leader of opposition in the state assembly Ajay Singh in a statement here on Sunday said, “The anti poor psyche of the BJP Government and negligence of system over three lakh poor families are compelled to live under open sky in the scorching heat of 40-42 degree temperature.”
Singh demanded from the Chief Minister to take up the issue immediately and seriously and do not punish the poor for the irregularities committed in the housing scheme and release the second installment of Rs 40,000 for the construction of their houses. Three lakh families of the state were selected by showing them the dream of owning their own houses under the PM Housing Scheme. The government released the first installment of Rs 40, 000 was also released by the state government to these selected families for construction of their houses. They broke their shanties and started constructing new houses but now the government is not releasing the second installment to complete their incomplete houses, he added.
He said that the government has now issued a new thirteen point circular and according to that of the three lakh families selected earlier one lakh have been disqualified and has issued orders to the field staff to recover Rs 40,000 from the disqualified families. This has created double crisis before the poor families that from where they would return the amount that has already been expensed on construction of houses, he added.
The leader of opposition said that due to the new order the second installment of all the three lakh families has been put on hold compelling them to live under open sky in this scorching summer.
If the system has done any mistake than why the poor should pay price of that, he questioned form the Chief Minister.
