BJP Criticizes Congress Over CURE Law and Housing Scheme
The BJP in Telangana has accused the Congress government of imposing a financial burden on the people through two major initiatives.
First, they say the CURE law will raise property taxes and introduce new charges, making life harder for residents.
Second, they claim the Indiramma housing scheme is misleading because it collects fees from poor people while not using existing empty houses.
The BJP wants the government to review these plans and distribute the vacant houses to those in need.
They also welcomed new members into the party to strengthen their organization.
