Bharatiya Janata Party · Gujarat Legislative Assembly Election 2022

Last updated 15 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

“Converting famous tourist destinations such as Dwarka and Palitana into 100% solar-powered places on the lines of Modhera.”

Our Assessment

Dwarka has been identified for solar-city development, but identification alone does not show the promised conversion is operational. The reviewed sources do not establish whole-place 100% solar supply at Dwarka or Palitana. Modhera demonstrates the intended model, but it was inaugurated before the election and cannot establish delivery at the newly named destinations.

The reasoning behind the verdict

Why this assessment?

Reviewed

01 · Delivery status

Why pending?

No destination-wide implementation or complete solar-supply evidence was verified for the named places.

02 · Strength of evidence

Why low confidence?

Official records establish the model and Dwarka's identification, while destination-level delivery data remain incomplete.

What would help us reassess?

The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.

  • Approved project scopes and commissioning records for Dwarka and Palitana
  • Metered solar generation, storage and total demand demonstrating the promised coverage
  • An official list of the tourist destinations covered and completed

Status describes delivery. Confidence describes the evidence.
