What does this status mean?
Meaningful delivery has occurred, but the stated commitment is incomplete.

Our Assessment
The 2026 Governor's address reports ₹32.70 crore of completed development at Mata no Madh, a named site, and ₹47.99 crore of first-phase works at Madhavpur. These verify relevant delivery. The complete named-temple network and an audited ₹1,000 crore expenditure total remain unverified. Separate scheme estimates, annual provisions and pre-election model projects are not added as spending against this pledge.
