Referring to the 2BHK housing scheme, Ajay Kumar informed that since 2015-16 around 14, 555 houses have been sanctioned to the district.

Stating that some political parties were trying to divide the society in the name of caste and religion, the Minister urged the people to be wary of such divisive forces. In Kothagudem, Government Whip Pinapaka MLA Rega Kantha Rao challenged the BJP and Congress leaders to implement Kalyana Lakshmi, Shaadi Mubarak, Dalit Bandhu and Rythu Bandhu schemes in the States where they are ruling. He said the BJP leadership wants to draw political mileage by provoking issues like hijab and others. People will teach a fitting lesson to Congress and BJP in ensuing elections, he added.
