Three firms took ₹77.31 crore as advances and finished not one house. SPARSH then sent the next rupee to the beneficiary, and the work stopped.

Option-3 was the route for a poor household that said it could not build. A contractor was told to build. The rupee then left the public ledger faster than the wall went up.
The filing is 22 August 2026, from the Kurnool Collectorate and from Adoni old town. Kurnool is the spelling this desk will keep. Yemmiganur is the spelling this desk will keep. The geography is the former combined Kurnool west — thirteen western mandals plus the municipalities of Adoni and Yemmiganur. This is a Kurnool-district story, not a Nandyal urban story.
Under the previous YSRCP government, beneficiaries who said they could not build were told contractors would build. The public stack on the card is specific. The Centre put ₹1.50 lakh. The state put ₹30,000. That is ₹1.80 lakh. The beneficiary was to put ₹35,000 into the contractor’s account. Those four rupee lines are the design. They are not a finding that every rupee reached a roof.
In 2021-22, 22 contractors were picked for 11,119 Option-3 houses across those thirteen western mandals plus Adoni and Yemmiganur municipalities. The card describes those contractors as YSRCP followers. That is a desk allegation, not a charge sheet. Later only 10,569 houses were sanctioned. Eleven thousand one hundred and nineteen was the target. Ten thousand five hundred and sixty-nine is the sanction. They are not the same number.
Contractors were to dig nine-foot foundations. The card says they dug four or five feet and put up weak pillars. Housing engineers are accused of not supervising. Some engineers are reported as saying completed houses may not last three or four years. Reported is the verb. This desk has no verbatim line from a named engineer and will not print one in quotation marks. A four-foot pit under a nine-foot rule is still only an allegation until an inquiry writes it as a finding.
SPARSH changed the pipe. Money now goes only to the beneficiary’s Aadhaar-linked bank account. Contractors can no longer pull funds from those accounts. The card says contractors who had already billed for work then refused to continue. A direct-to-beneficiary rule is not a raid. It is a tap that was moved. Work that depended on the old tap stopped.
Of houses sanctioned in 2021, about 5,585 were still pending, most at foundation stage, with about 2,000 in other stages. About is the word on both pending counts. Under YSRCP, from 2021 to March 2024, only 84 houses were completed. The coalition continued the work. By June 2026, 4,900 house constructions were complete. Those two completion numbers sit on different governments and must not be subtracted into a slogan this card does not write.
Three named firms — Boyilla Construction, Boyilla Janardhan and ARTA Ventures — agreed in 2021 to build 6,823 houses in Adoni and Yemmiganur municipalities and in Mantralayam and Yemmiganur rural mandals. From 2021 to 2024, the card says, they completed not one house. They received ₹77.31 crore as advances because they belonged to YSRCP leaders. That last clause is an allegation, not a charge sheet. ₹77.31 crore is the advance figure on the card. Zero completed houses is the completion figure on the card for those three firms in that window. This desk will not invent a fourth firm, a director’s home address, or a recovery order.
By 31 May 2024 the 22 contractor firms together had completed 84 houses, while YSRCP-era contractor firms were paid ₹98.77 crore in bills. Bills plus materials under the previous government are put at ₹200 crore. Those are two different sentences. This desk will not add ₹98.77 crore to ₹200 crore and print a third total. ₹98.77 crore is bills paid to those firms by that date. ₹200 crore is the card’s bills-plus-materials figure for the previous government. They stay labelled.
Beneficiaries have asked sitting representatives for a full inquiry. An ask is not an inquiry order. This desk has no commission name, no vigilance first-information-report number, and no conviction. It will not print any of those.
The honest picture is a west-Kurnool Option-3 stack of ₹1.80 lakh plus ₹35,000, 22 contractors, 11,119 targeted then 10,569 sanctioned, nine-foot foundations said to have been dug at four or five feet, about 5,585 still pending, 84 houses finished by March 2024, 4,900 constructions complete by June 2026, three named firms on 6,823 houses with ₹77.31 crore as advances and none finished in 2021-24, ₹98.77 crore in bills by 31 May 2024, and a separate ₹200 crore bills-plus-materials line. SPARSH moved the rupee to the beneficiary. The contractors who had already billed then walked away. Until an inquiry writes, that is allegation, not guilt.
