About 12 years ago, the past government had allotted pattas to the differently-abled persons at Christianpally in Mahabubnagar. Stating that the houses were unauthorized, officials demolished the structures, leaving the residents, who have been living since many years, homeless, he said.

Similarly, many structures were demolished in basthis at Hasmathpet, Alwal and other areas. The State government should not turn the poor homeless, he demanded.
