As part of a programme held in Ongole, he also handed over house site pattas and conveyance deeds to 20,480 women under the Ongole Municipal Corporation limits, besides sanctioning funds for construction of the houses. Further, he highlighted that the State government has spent `231 crore for purchasing land and developing Jagananna housing layouts in Ongole city . While addressing a large gathering, Jagan lashed out at TDP supremo N Chandrababu Naidu. Describing the Opposition leader as an “evil worse than 100 villains”, he accused Naidu of thwarting attempts to render justice to the poor. “Naidu has filed a staggering 1,191 court cases to prevent the distribution of house sites to the poor in the State. Even today, the party has approached the court to hinder distribution of house sites,” he alleged. Pointing out that construction of 8.90 lakh houses has been completed, Jagan said 22 lakh houses are under construction. He emphasised that his government faced hurdles in the construction of houses for the poor in Amaravati as Naidu had alleged that the move P4 would lead to a ‘demographic imbalance’. express read Margadarsi Victims’ Association formed for grievance redressal Vijayawada: In order to address the grievances of subscribers who were denied payments by Margadarsi Chit Fund Private Limited (MCFPL), a city-based advocate Mushti Srinivas has formed the Margadarsi Victims’ Association to address issues pending before the State government or various legal forums.
