Congress Feud Disrupts Housing Scheme in Jagtial
In Jagtial, two Congress leaders are arguing about the demolition of some unfinished houses meant for poor families.
Years ago, plots were given out, but some homes weren't finished.
Now, some of these unfinished houses are being torn down to build things like a bus stand and a school.
The leaders disagree about this, which is causing problems for people who were supposed to get homes.
This disagreement is happening just before some local elections, adding to the tension.
Congress infighting in Jagtial has impacted Indiramma housing scheme beneficiaries.
Former minister T. Jeevan Reddy and MLA Dr S. Sanjay Kumar are at odds over demolished homes.
In 2008, 400 families were allotted plots under Jeevan Reddy; many homes remained unfinished.
The BRS government demolished unfinished houses to build double-bedroom units, with re-allotment promises.
Current demolitions for public infrastructure have drawn criticism from Jeevan Reddy and support from Sanjay Kumar.
