In urban areas, the urban affairs minister Hardeep Singh Puri claimed in September that 50% of the target had been met. But the government’s website shows of the 1.2 crore urban houses it aims to build, 68.5 lakh houses have been sanctioned, and just 18% of the sanctioned houses have been built.

Evidence (2014-03-22): Those startling numbers about my homeland make me think of it as almost schizophrenic. One India boasts billionaires and brainiacs, nuclear bombs, tech and democracy. The other is inhabited by people like Amina. In that India, almost 75% still lives in villages and leads a hardscrabble life of labor; only 11% owns a refrigerator; 35% cannot read and write. [...] The country's growth in the last 15 years or so has largely been jobless growth, which some analysts say exacerbates the problem.

Claim: Recent news clip about AIMIM contesting Muslim dominated areas in West Bengal (SOCIAL MEDIA POST, 2023-03-19)
Evidence (2023-03-19): This is an old news clip, related to 2021 General elections in West Bengal. Republic Bharat telecast this clip on 27 March 2021, analysing the winning prospects of different parties, following AIMIM’s decision to field candidates in Muslim dominated areas. The news clip has nothing to with the recent political developments. Hence the claim made in the post is FALSE.

Evidence (2020-11-11): Hyderabad: In what is sure to ring alarm bells in the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress camp, All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Tuesday announced that his party will contest West Bengal Assembly elections 2021. [...] "AIMIM will fight the polls in West Bengal.. AIMIM is coming to Bengal," Owaisi added. [...] If Owaisi’s AIMIM decides to contest Bengal Assembly polls scheduled for April-May 2021, it would possibly lead to a change in the political landscape of West Bengal. Notably, if AIMIM enters the political arena of Bengal, it will directly affect the Trinamool Congress which has a huge support base in the Muslim dominated areas. It may be noted that Bengal has the second-highest Muslim population in the country.

Evidence (2020-11-30): AIMIM looks certain to contest in 20-25 seats in Bengal, as it did in Bihar, and could alter results in a few of them. But it is yet to find its own ‘Akhtarul Iman’ for Bengal [...] AIMIM will get some votes in the urban areas. It should be remembered that MIM is an Urban party. The party will also get some support in Malda, districts with a sizeable Surjapuri community, the same community that forms the bulwark of Owaisi’s support base in neighboring Seemanchal of Bihar. The districts where it could do some tangible damage are Uttar Dinajpur & Murshidabad. [...] Response of secular parties to AIMIM’s performance in Bihar could have been more nuanced, more mature and more backed by data. Calling out AIMIM for contesting in Bihar was immature and undemocratic. Blaming Muslims for voting for AIMIM and not MGB was bad politics. Pinning all the blame on Owaisi for their less than overwhelming performance was naïve.

Evidence (2019-11-22): - BJP’s rise in West Bengal - TMC’s critical dependence on Muslim votes - AIMIM’s recent victory in Kishanganj [...] Last month, the AIMIM won a crucial bye-election in the Kishanganj Assembly constituency, situated on Bihar’s border with West Bengal. The West Bengal districts of Darjeeling, Uttar Dinajpur, Dakshin Dinajpur and Malda are in the vicinity of Kishanganj and these also happen to be the areas where the TMC has traditionally not been very strong. [...] Despite the TMC’s resilience, the AIMIM’s model of expansion does give it a chance in West Bengal. So far, the party has successfully expanded in two states – Maharashtra and Bihar – outside of its core Hyderabad. Instead of putting up candidates in all seats in these states, the AIMIM cleverly chose Muslim dominated pockets such as the Seemanchal region in Bihar and Marathwada and Greater Mumbai in Maharashtra.

Evidence (2020-11-14): The Hyderabad based All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM) is likely to contest over 70 Assembly constituencies in the West Bengal elections scheduled to be held next year, with the aim to tap into the large minority vote-base in the state. [...] An AIMIM leader from Bengal told this correspondent: "There are at least 15 districts in Bengal where the AIMIM has been able to establish itself. The Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress has not done anything for minorities. The minorities here are the poorest in the country and have been used just for vote bank politics by all political parties. We are going to contest on at least 70 seats in the state where we have been able to garner strong support from among the people." Sources from the AIMIM Bengal unit also said that the party is strong in the minority-dominated districts of Malda, Murshidabad, Uttar Dinajpur and along the Indo-Bangladesh border areas of North 24 Parganas, South 24 Parganas and in some of the border areas of North Bengal, owing to a large number of minority population in these areas and the economic backwardness of these districts.

Evidence (2020-11-21): How do you look at the Bihar mandate? Moreso because for the first time, AIMIM has got five seats in the state. [...] Due to this success, the impression that goes to the common man is that the AIMIM is a political party of a certain section. More so when one realises the formidable presence of Muslims in the Seemanchal area. [...] People can have their opinions, but I can tell you with empirical facts that out of the 20 seats that the AIMIM contested in Bihar, it won five seats. Among these 20 seats, six were won by the National Democratic Alliance (NDA)—three by the BJP, two by the Janata Dal (United) and one by the Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP). The Mahagathbandhan won nine seats: the Congress won four, the RJD three and the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) two. In none of the seats where the AIMIM lost and the NDA won did it get more votes than the margin of victory of the NDA candidates. Where is the question of the AIMIM eating into the so-called secular vote and enabling the NDA to win? It is all humbug. It is a myth circulated to hide their failures.
