Minister for urban development, housing and poverty alleviation, M Venkaiah Naidu, said the Real Estate Bill, which was passed by Parliament, was notified on May 1 and now, requires the state governments to make model rules and set up a real estate regulatory authority.

“We have received thousands of emails and messages from across the country, from Gurgaon, Noida (about consumers getting cheated by real estate developers),” Naidu said in the Lok Sabha.

Without taking the name of MS Dhoni, he appeared to refer to him as he pointed out that a ‘certain cricketer’ had appeared in an advertisement for a real estate developer. Consumers are being cheated by fly-by-night operators, the Minister said, adding, “I would like to warn (real estate developers) with strictest action…. They should not take consumers for a ride.”
