NEW DELHI: The Narendra Modi government has sanctioned almost 30% more affordable houses for the poor in 22 months than what Congress-led UPA did in a decade at the Centre.Under BJP government’s flagship initiative Housing for All, the BJP government has sanctioned 17,73,533 affordable houses in 2008 cities and towns in just 22 months.Speaking to reporters at a press conference, second in a series of media interactions to mark Modi government’s third anniversary, housing and urban poverty alleviation minister M Venkaiah Naidu said Congress led UPA sanctioned construction of 13,82,768 such houses for the urban poor in its 10-year reign at the Centre.“If something done in ten years by others could be nearly achieved in just under three years, I think it is a good enough evidence on ground of being a ‘Government with a difference’,” Naidu said.He said an investment of Rs 96,266 crore had so far been approved in 22 months, which is three times more than Rs 32,713 crore okayed under UPA’s Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission.
