Original manifesto wording
“हम विधवा एवं निराश्रित महिलाओं के लिए मासिक पेंशन राशि को बढ़ाकर ₹1,500 करेंगे।”
Our Assessment
The manifesto promised to raise the monthly pension for widowed and abandoned women to Rs 1,500. The official Madhya Pradesh social-security portal lists widow and abandoned-women pension schemes, and the District Sehore government scheme page states that beneficiaries receive Rs 600 per month. No approved-source evidence was found for an increase to Rs 1,500 for widowed or abandoned women in Madhya Pradesh. Because the old benefit exists but the promised rate is not evidenced, the verdict is pending. It is not marked broken because the government term is still underway. Budget: no allocation or utilisation evidence for the enhanced Rs 1,500 rate was found.
