Hold an annual Gujarat Tribal Khel Mahotsav
Bharatiya Janata Party · Gujarat Legislative Assembly Election 2022
Last updated 16 Oct 2026
What does this status mean?
The term is active and there is no evidence of action or reversal.
Status describes delivery. Confidence describes how strong the available evidence is.
Original manifesto wording
“We will organise an annual Gujarat Tribal Khel Mahotsav to promote traditional and tribal games in the state.”
Our Assessment
Gujarat runs Khel Mahakumbh and tribal cultural events, but these records do not verify a recurring state tribal sports festival featuring traditional and tribal games. The Anand district's Adivasi Mahotsav account describes dance and music, while the Sports Authority calendar covers the broader sports programme. Neither alone establishes the promised annual event, its traditional-game programme or recurrence after 2022. An equivalent event with a different name would count if those features were documented. The pledge remains Pending; this does not assert that no local tribal sports activities have occurred.
The reasoning behind the verdict
Why this assessment?
Reviewed
01 · Delivery status
Why pending?
No verified annual series matching the state tribal-games festival and its traditional-game purpose was found.
02 · Strength of evidence
Why low confidence?
Related sporting and cultural activities are documented, but the event's relevant programme and year-by-year recurrence are not.
What would help us reassess?
The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.
- Annual event notifications, dates and host districts since the election
- Traditional/tribal game lists, participant records and results
- Funding and recurrence evidence for an equivalent Gujarat-wide tribal sports festival
Status describes delivery. Confidence describes the evidence.
