Kerala has fewer families living in extreme poverty compared to other States and the Left Democratic Front is behind the achievement, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said.
Addressing an election convention of Joice George, Idukki candidate of the LDF for the Lok Sabha election, at Kattappana on Wednesday, Mr. Vijayan said the government had set November 1, 2025 as the deadline to ensure that no family lived in extreme poverty in the State.
“With the Bharatiya Janata Party ruling at the Centre, the number of families living in extreme poverty had increased in the country,” he said.
