Minister alleges bogus beneficiaries in Bhalki; Cong. leader counters charge
Housing Minister V. Somanna’s statement about sanction of 17,000 houses for Bhalki constituency in Bidar under housing schemes of the State government and allocation of 43% of houses to “bogus beneficiaries” sparked off heated arguments between the Minister and Congress member Eshwar Khandre, who represents the constituency.
In reply to Mr. Khandre’s charge about lack of progress in the Housing Department in the State, during the debate on the Governor’s address in the Legislative Assembly on Thursday, Mr. Somanna said the Congress leader got sanctioned 17,000 houses in one year during the previous Congress government and 43% of the beneficiaries were “fake”.
