Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi alleges corruption in PM Awas Yojana scheme

Live Mint  

Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi, on January 29, alleged that eligible beneficiaries of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana scheme were unable to claim benefits citing administrative indifference and suspected corruption as the reasons. He said, “It is tragic that the deserving poor villagers of Nagapattinam district are not able to get the benefit of PM Awas Yojana due to administrative apathy and alleged corruption.” In this village of Nagapattinam district, more than 40 agricultural labourers were burnt alive by a landlord five decades ago in 1968. One wonders how long these unfortunate brothers and sisters have to wait for social and economic justice.” Governor Ravi also visited the Velankanni Church during his tour. He delivered his speech at Anna University on January 23 where he said: “India's national freedom movement led by Mahatma Gandhi became a non-event after 1942 and if Netaji had not been there, India would not have become free in 1947.” Also read: MK Stalin-led Tamil Nadu govt 'banned' live telecast of Ayodhya Ram mandir consecration: FM Nirmala Sitharaman The governor later clarified that 'an erroneous impression' has been created by his statement.
