evidence: Announcing the completion of construction of 2.5 lakh houses under the government’s LIFE Mission housing project on Thursday, Mr. Vijayan alleged that certain quarters sought to scuttle the State’s progress by propagating falsehoods and raking up controversies. Referring to the row surrounding the LIFE Mission apartment project at Wadakkanchery, the Chief Minister said the prospects of many homeless families who sought to receive houses were imperilled with the project dragged into controversy. [...] Considering that the Scheduled Caste / Scheduled Tribes Development Department and Cooperative Departments have also been undertaking housing projects, the government has constructed houses worth ₹8,823 crore during the last four-and-a-half years.
