Last month, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan released the progress report of the CPI(M)-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) government, highlighting its achievements over the last two years and emphasising its goal of raising the standard of living in Kerala to the level of middle-income countries in the developed world in the next 25 years. The government’s ongoing development projects are bringing the State closer to this goal, he said.

In response to Mr. Vijayan’s claims, the Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly, V.D. Satheesan, alleged that the LDF had not fulfilled even 100 out of the 600 promises in its 2016 election manifesto. He alleged that the progress report was filled with false claims. Promises such as the creation of 10 lakh new jobs and packages for Malabar, Kuttanad, Idukki, and Wayanad had not been kept, he said.
