Bharatiya Janata Party · Gujarat Legislative Assembly Election 2022

Last updated 18 Oct 2026

What does this status mean?

Meaningful delivery has occurred, but the stated commitment is incomplete.

Status describes delivery. Confidence describes how strong the available evidence is.

Original manifesto wording

“We will increase the amount of compensation to labourers from ₹3 lakh to ₹5 lakh in case of accidental death and from ₹1 to ₹2 lakh in case of permanent disability under the Akasmik Mrityu/ Kayami Asaktata Sahay Yojana.”

Our Assessment

Gujarat publishes an operating construction-worker accident-assistance scheme, establishing relevant compensation support. The reviewed scheme catalogue does not verify the pledged ₹5 lakh accidental-death rate and ₹2 lakh permanent-disability rate under the specified scheme. Separately purchased accident-insurance products are not treated as a change to this state entitlement. The promised increases need current rules and actual claim payments.

The reasoning behind the verdict

Why this assessment?

Reviewed

01 · Delivery status

Why partially done?

Relevant services are verified, but material elements of the commitment remain unverified.

02 · Strength of evidence

Why medium confidence?

Official or corroborated reporting supports related delivery, but coverage or the promised expansion is incompletely documented.

What would help us reassess?

The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.

  • Revised compensation rules and paid claims for both accident-death and permanent-disability categories
