Upgrade small tribal-area bridges and causeways for all-weather access
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
“Upgrade small bridges/causeways to provide all weather connectivity”
Our Assessment
Gujarat's rural-road programme includes bridge and causeway works. The 2025–26 state review reports 51 completed and 112 ongoing PMGSY bridge works statewide, while the 2026–27 budget provides for replacing causeways with high bridges. These are relevant programme records, but the published figures do not identify small bridges or causeways upgraded in tribal areas after the election, nor demonstrate all-weather access at the intended crossings. Statewide bridge totals, large urban bridges and allocations alone are insufficient for this specific component. It remains Pending until matching site-level implementation is verified; this does not mean that no tribal-area bridge work has happened.
The reasoning behind the verdict
Why this assessment?
Reviewed
01 · Delivery status
Why pending?
The bridge programmes are relevant, but their tribal-area sites, actual upgrades and all-weather outcomes have not been reconciled to this commitment.
02 · Strength of evidence
Why low confidence?
Available records report statewide activities and budget intentions, leaving project-level geographic and delivery uncertainty.
What would help us reassess?
The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.
- A tribal-area list of small bridges and causeways requiring upgrades
- Contract awards, dated physical progress and completion certificates
- All-weather design and monsoon-access verification
