Our Assessment

Promise of a Matsya Bhagya scheme providing 500 litres of tax-free diesel a year for deep-sea fishing. Karnataka does operate a tax-free diesel scheme for fishermen (continued via a state gazette notification for 2024-25), but it predates this manifesto and an approved/government citation confirming the specific Matsya Bhagya 500-litre commitment is needed. Status pending.
