evidence: Prime Minister Modi also claimed that the UPA government built only 25 lakh houses during its tenure. This is not the first time that the prime minister is making this claim. On 19 October 2018, PM Modi said that UPA built 25 lakh houses in the last four years of its tenure. The claim was debunked in October 2018. The UPA government constructed a total of 89.65 lakh houses as part of the IAY in their last four years between 2010-11 & 2013-14.
