₹76 lakh approved on repair of Azharuddin's official residence.
Digital Desk, New Delhi. Revanth Reddy government of Telangana is once again under the scanner. In fact, the state government has approved Rs 76 lakh for the repair of the official residence of former cricketer and Minority Welfare Minister Mohammad Azharuddin, over which the opposition has created a ruckus.
This government residence has recently been allotted to former cricketer and new Minority Welfare Minister Mohammad Azharuddin. As per official orders issued by the Roads and Buildings Department, this fund has been sanctioned under Capital Outlay for Government Residential Buildings.

The government order reveals that the work includes multiple repair works like waterproofing of roof slabs, floor tiling, installation of UPVC windows, construction of modular kitchen, repair of walls and painting.
When asked about this expenditure, government sources justified the allocation by saying that the building was not in use for about 15 years and was in a dilapidated condition before it was allotted to the minister.

However, the order has triggered a political debate and public criticism, especially as the state government has cited financial difficulties in fulfilling welfare promises, paying pending bills and funding key development projects.
Over the past two weeks, the government has reportedly spent over Rs 1 crore on repair and cleaning works at the official residences of ministers, including Rs 30 lakh for upgrades to the health minister's official bungalow.
Opposition parties said Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has been highlighting the government's poor financial position in recent times, but the scale of these allocations shows a lack of coordination in spending priorities.
