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
“Continue provision of three free LPG cylinders a year under Mukhyamantri Annapurna Yojana, subject to scheme eligibility.”
From the Bharatiya Janata Party manifestoView Manifesto
Our Assessment
In March 2026, the food minister reported Annapurna coverage of 75.81 lakh beneficiaries and continued provision of three annual LPG refills. Post-election accounting orders also support continuation. Household-level records confirming reimbursement for all eligible annual refills remain unverified, so reported coverage is not treated as full delivery.
The reasoning behind the verdict
Why this assessment?
Reviewed
01 · Delivery status
Why partially done?
Post-election government orders and the minister's March 2026 statement support continued implementation. The reported beneficiary coverage does not independently verify every annual refill and corresponding subsidy payment.
02 · Strength of evidence
Why medium confidence?
The April 2025 resolution is primary evidence of scheme administration. March 2026 reporting reproduces the minister's statement, but household/refill-wise reimbursement records were not available in reviewed sources.
What would help us reassess?
The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.
- Oil-marketing-company and state DBT records showing eligible households, eligible refills, subsidy credits, failed payments and arrears for each financial year.
Status describes delivery. Confidence describes the evidence.
