While presenting the budget BJP leader Sitharaman said, “Two crore more houses will be built in the next five years to meet the requirements arising from the increase in the number of families.”

She stated that the government was very near to the aim of constructing three crore houses, even with the difficulties brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic.

And two crore more houses will be taken up in the next five years to meet the requirements arising from the increase in the number of families,” she said.

“Earning Sabka Vishwas, the next five years will be of unprecedented development and of building a developed India by 2047. The trinity of democracy, demography, and diversity backed by Sabka Prayas has the potential to fulfill aspirations of every Indian,” Sitharaman said.
