New Delhi: Union Rural Development Minister Giriraj Singh on Friday asserted that there has been no discrimination against any state towards the allotment of houses under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin. Replying to queries raised by Lok Sabha members regarding the scheme, he also clarified that Karnataka was allowed to enter beneficiaries data in the Awaas Plus portal for allotment of houses as it had not received any such houses.
BJD MP Bhartruhari Mahtab requested that the Awas Plus website be opened for a month for Odisha so that the names of beneficiaries who are mostly cyclone Fani affected households in the state can be incorporated. "Odisha has been linked to our portal from the beginning. We gave opportunity to Odisha four times, they have given up details of 14 districts. We have not been unfair to anyone. In the past seven years 2.46 crore houses have been built under the scheme... we have given electricity, toilets...," he said.
