Launch Mukhyamantri Sharanarthi Yojana for newly naturalised refugees

Bharatiya Janata Party · Gujarat Legislative Assembly Election 2022

Last updated 18 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 initiate the Mukhyamantri Sharanarthi Yojana for the welfare of refugees who get citizenship under the Citizenship Amendment Act in Gujarat. Under this, we will: Ensure DBT of ₹10,000 per year to each refugee family for 5 years after acquiring citizenship; Enable a single-window clearance to get documents such as Aadhaar card, Ration card and Voter ID card; Provide subsidised loans to start their own business; Provide scholarships to school and college students.”

Our Assessment

Ahmedabad issued 158 citizenship certificates on 13 October 2026, including 126 under the CAA and 32 under other Citizenship Act provisions. That establishes an eligible population, not delivery of this welfare package. A matching state scheme with annual cash transfers, document assistance, subsidised business loans and student scholarships was not verified. Citizenship issuance itself is not counted as payment or welfare enrolment.

The reasoning behind the verdict

Why this assessment?

Reviewed

01 · Delivery status

Why pending?

Matching implementation has not been verified; this is an evidence gap, not proof of non-delivery.

02 · Strength of evidence

Why low confidence?

The pledge is clear, but matching implementation records are insufficient.

What would help us reassess?

The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.

  • State scheme rules, funding and beneficiaries receiving each promised welfare benefit

Status describes delivery. Confidence describes the evidence.
