Jaipur, Feb. 5 -- A heated exchange erupted in the Rajasthan Assembly on Thursday over data on homeless and landless families in Bharatpur, sparking sharp arguments between ministers and opposition members that briefly disrupted proceedings. The controversy ignited during the Question Hour when RLD MLA Subhash Garg requested to know the number of homeless families in Bharatpur and eligible beneficiaries under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY). Dissatisfied with the urban development and housing minister Jhabar Singh Kharra's response, Garg demanded specific data on homeless families and asked whether provisions existed under the 2022 Homeless Policy to conduct surveys. He insisted on a clear "yes or no" answer, but Kharra outlined the PMAY eligibility criteria instead. Kharra stated that nearly 80% of PMAY work in Bharatpur stood completed. He distinguished between landless and homeless families, noting that those without land qualify as "homeless", while individuals with land but no house are deemed "housing-less". Tensions escalated as Leader of Opposition Tikaram Jully clashed verbally with parliamentary affairs minister Jogaram Patel. Jully remarked on ministers intervening during responses, saying "there is no need for advocates here". Patel retorted that members should ask questions rather than deliver speeches. Jully countered that he was merely stating facts and accused the government of giving incorrect replies. The urban development and housing minister offered to obtain a report from the district collector if data on landless families was needed. The argument between treasury benches and opposition members raged for nearly 15 minutes, creating a noisy atmosphere. Replying to Garg's supplementary questions, Kharra disclosed that 302 eligible beneficiaries from the Bharatpur Assembly constituency had received benefits under the scheme from 2016-17 to date, including 54 in the last two years. He added that under the upcoming Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban) 2.0, applicants must submit online applications with documents via the unified web portal. Municipal corporations will then conduct physical verification, forward the eligible list to the Central Government for approval, and disburse benefits post-sanction. In a separate incident, revenue minister Hemant Meena drew flak for evading a direct reply to Congress MLA Pitram Singh Kala's question on recording commonly used pathways as "Katani roads" in revenue records. Despite the Speaker's repeated calls for a "yes or no" answer, Meena cited rules and circulars for a detailed explanation. Opposition MLAs protested, triggering uproar. The Speaker assured the House of a proper reply later, calming the situation....
