In the previous government, LDF had made a total of 500 promises to the public, CM Vijayan claims that he has managed to fulfil 470 promises. The veteran CPI(M) leader said, "We issue our government's report card every year in which we inform people about the work done by the government and also reasons behind few pending works."
The Kerala CM added that his opponents and vested interests keep spreading a lot of false propaganda about his government because they cannot digest the fact that LDF is running the government without any hassles.
