The implementation of ‘Housing for All by 2022’ scheme of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken a backseat in Odisha due to inefficiency of the State Government, alleged BJP State general secretary Prithviraj Harichandan on Wednesday.
Harichandan said the State Government had installed boxes at block offices for receipt of applications for PMAY houses after the BJP protested alleged bribe taking by ruling party workers for distribution of houses. However, the Government has not considered the applications yet. He lamented saying that many such applications were found dumped behind the Chilika block office on Tuesday. BJP ZP member and some locals saw this, he said.
“From this, it is indicated that applications for PMAY houses have not been enlisted in 314 blocks and ULBs. It is a conspiracy hatched by the State Government,” he alleged.
He demanded that the State Government implement the MPAY in proper way and provide houses to the needy soon. Otherwise, it would face a political protest in coming days, warned Harichandan.
