"As many as 2.5 lakh houses have been completed through Life Mission housing scheme. It is a great achievement to have a home for 10 lakh people. Our children study in world-class schools. We also made a great leap in the health sector, which in turn helped us fight the Covid epidemic in a better way," he said during the interaction.

Hitting at the previous UDF government, Vijayan said that experience in the past was that nothing would happen here.

"Our big push to development changed the general investment atmosphere of the state itself. We had a lot of positive factors and it was all used effectively. Following this, world class compes came to Kerala. The Chief Minister said that the world was convinced that Kerala was conducive to investment," he added.
