On the agriculture front, it said additional 34,000 acres were brought under paddy cultivation. After releasing the report, Vijayan said the government had completed just two years in office and all the promises, mentioned in the manifesto, would be met out in the rest three years. The chief minister said the government has brought a change in the 'rotten political culture' that existed in the state before it came to power in 2016. Official sources said the progress report would be published on the government website and suggested people convey their opinion in this regard via email or post.
