The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) has opposed the decision, which has led to suspicion about the deal. Wadettiwar also alleged that the firm is not eligible to bid for works under PMAY and has a questionable background. The firm's promoter, Chadha, has been in CBI custody for 15 days due to serious charges of cheating people in Delhi and has also been associated with various political parties.
Wadettiwar has demanded to know how the firm was selected for the project despite its questionable credentials. He also expressed concerns that the firm may abscond with the Rs 400 crore, leaving beneficiaries in the lurch. The Congress leader pointed out that the government has been unable to provide scholarship funds to students linked to Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Research and Training Institute (BARTI) but has money to fund builders with suspicious backgrounds.
The deal has raised serious questions about the Maharashtra government's commitment to transparency and accountability. The opposition has demanded a thorough investigation into the matter and has called for the deal to be scrapped.
The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) is a flagship programme of the Indian government aimed at providing affordable housing to all citizens. The programme is implemented by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs and has been allocated a budget of over Rs 1 lakh crore.
The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) is a state government agency responsible for implementing housing schemes in Maharashtra. The agency is responsible for providing affordable housing to low- and middle-income families in the state.
