Bhubaneswar: Biju Janata Dal (BJD) on Sunday alleged that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders, including Union Ministers, have been trying to mislead the people of Odisha on houses under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) for the state.

Addressing a press meet in Bhubaneswar, BJD spokesperson Gautam Budha Das claimed that BJP national president J P Nadda was made to give wrong information by state party leaders. It was wrongly stated that 75 lakh PMAY houses have been sanctioned, he said.

At a public meeting in Bhawanipatna in Kalahandi district recently, Nadda was given this wrong information by state BJP leaders and a Union Minister to mislead people, Das said, adding that the BJP chief had to face an embarrassing situation because of this.

Accusing BJP of conspiring to deprive lakhs of poor people of PMAY houses, the BJD spokesperson alleged that after BJP’s defeat in 2019 elections, party leaders and a Union Minister put pressure on Union Rural Development Minister and not to sanction PMAY houses for Odisha. PMAY portal was also shut for Odisha for three years, he claimed.

Following constant pressure from BJD, only eight lakh houses have been sanctioned instead of 15 lakh, Das claimed, and sought to know as to how the rest seven lakh would get houses.

The BJD leader also accused BJP MPs of obstructing distribution of PMAY houses to the poor people of Odisha instead of facilitating the process.
