On Thursday, KTR initiated the second phase of distribution of double bedroom houses in Dundigal in Qutbullapur constituency.

Speaking on the economic aspects, KTR mentioned, "To build 4,000 houses in Dundigal, Rs 10 lakh was spent for each house. The Government has invested Rs 9,718 crore so far for one lakh houses in Hyderabad, with the cost per house standing at Rs 10 lakh. Remarkably, the market value of all these houses ranges in between Rs 50,000-60,000 crore. This highlights the K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) Government's dedication to empowering the less fortunate."

KTR proudly stated that the Telangana Government had ensured a completely bribe-free allocation process for these houses. Sharing an interesting detail, KTR said, "In Jagadgirigutta division, both Congress president Kausalya and BJP leader Sunita from the area were among the beneficiaries in the first phase of double bedroom house distribution. It's a testament to our commitment to transparency."

Challenging the opposition, KTR asked, "Can any of the other 27 States in India show proof of such wonderful double bedroom houses anywhere? Have Congress or BJP governments provided houses with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, one hall, and one kitchen in 560 square feet?"

Switching to the agricultural sector, KTR emphasised, "Despite the challenges posed by the Covid pandemic, we waived off loans twice for farmers in rural areas. We are allocating 73,000 crore to farmers' accounts through the Rythu Bandhu scheme. Introducing a groundbreaking initiative like Dalit Bandhu, we have set an example for India in Dalit upliftment. Our State leads in industrialisation and attracting new industries. We are determined to transform Dundigal area as well."
