Khurshid slams KCR for defaulting on 2BHK promise
Deccan ChronicleHyderabad: Senior Congress leaders Salman Khurshid and Mallu Ravi came down heavily against Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao for failing to deliver on his promise to construct 2BHK houses for the poor in the last nine years. Addressing a press conference at Gandhi Bhavan here on Wednesday, Khurshid said that Rao had constructed a palatial the CM's official residence-cum-camp office 'Pragathi Bhavan' on nine acres within nine months himself but had failed to construct the promised number of 2bhk houses in nine years. "Back in 2014, Rao promised to construct 2bhk houses for the poor, while mocking Indiramma houses provided by the earlier Congress governments by describing them as congested living places. Ravi said that if Congress comes to power, it will not only give plots to the poor but also extend Rs five lakh financial assistance so that they construct houses.
