YS Jagan Lays Foundation Stone For 50,793 Houses:- Andhra Pradesh chief minister YS Jagan inaugurated a mega housing programme under Navaratnalu, ‘Pedalandariki Illu’ today at Krishnayapalem in Amaravathi. With this 50,000 people will be provided houses in the Amaravathi R-5 zone. YSRCP after a lone battle with the central government gets permission for the first phase of construction.

YS Jagan said, “YSRCP government fought against everyone in the Supreme court to get houses for the poor in Amaravathi region. Amaravathi is not only for the rich, it belongs to everyone. TDP has tried all the ways to stop construction by creating legal hurdles, but we won before the court of law”.
