Several minority women gathered at the Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Praja Bhavan in Wayanad to voice their frustrations over unresolved grievances related to the 2BHK housing issue. A total of 383 grievance applications were submitted during the event, with many expressing their hopes that their concerns would be addressed by the new administration starting in January next year.
Among those who attended was Afreen from Balanagar, who has been repeatedly visiting Prajavani for updates on her 2BHK housing application. Afreen, who had submitted her grievance two months ago, shared her frustration with the lack of progress, as officials continue to claim her application is pending due to the large volume of submissions.
“The government has been in power for a year, yet the basic needs of the poor, such as housing, remain unaddressed,” Afreen said, criticizing the government’s inability to implement promised schemes. She pointed out that the gas subsidy of Rs 500 and the free electricity for 200 units—both key electoral promises—have not yet been implemented. “The only scheme that is operational is the free bus service,” she added, expressing her disappointment with the government’s failure to deliver on its commitments.

Afreen, who is also facing health challenges, emphasized how owning a house would relieve her from paying rent, allowing her to allocate more funds toward her medical treatment. “I voted for this government with the hope that they would fulfill their promises, but it seems like the administration is not listening to us,” she remarked.
Ramya, another woman who submitted her grievance three months ago, echoed similar concerns. She too criticized the government’s celebrations, which coincided with the completion of one year in office, calling them undeserved given the unfulfilled promises.
“The administration has failed the poor, and we are still waiting for action on our housing issues,” she said. Despite the disappointment, Ramya expressed hope that the Congress government would deliver on its promises in the coming year, warning that failure to do so could result in a loss of trust among voters.
Officials at Prajavani confirmed that the grievance applications were diverse, with 126 submitted for the Panchayati Raj and Rural Development Department, 48 for the Revenue Department, 76 for the Electricity Department, 2 for Pravasi-related issues, and 131 for various other departments. However, the long delays in addressing these grievances have left many residents, particularly those from minority communities, feeling disillusioned with the government.
As the administration enters its second year, many of the attendees at Prajavani are holding on to the hope that their concerns will be taken seriously and that tangible progress will be made in addressing their grievances in 2025. With elections on the horizon, the government’s response to these issues could significantly impact voter sentiment in the coming months.
