MLA Alleges Corruption in YSRC Housing Scheme
Imagine the previous government was building houses for people who need them.
A politician, Somireddy, is saying that something went wrong.
He claims the government gave contracts to people secretly connected to the politicians in charge.
He says that the construction companies were paid even though the houses weren't finished properly.
He also says they overpaid for materials like steel and stickers that may not have even existed.
Now he wants an investigation to see if it is true, and get the money back.
TD leader Somireddy accused the YSRC government of corruption in housing construction.
He alleged over Rs 6,250 crore in irregularities in the housing scheme.
Contracts were allegedly given to 'benami contractors' instead of through tenders.
Materials like steel and other items were purchased at inflated rates.
Somireddy demanded a comprehensive probe and recovery of misused funds.
