Implement a permanent addiction-free Maharashtra scheme
Bharatiya Janata Party · Maharashtra Assembly Election 2024
Last updated 25 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
“Implement a permanent Nashamukt-Vyasanmukt Maharashtra scheme.”
Our Assessment
The Cabinet approved a coordinated anti-drug policy in September 2026. An October report records approval of a ₹3.6975-crore annual action plan, while official records document awareness activity. These show progress; a fully operational permanent statewide scheme with sustained prevention, treatment and rehabilitation delivery remains unverified.
The reasoning behind the verdict
Why this assessment?
Reviewed
01 · Delivery status
Why partially done?
A Cabinet-approved coordinated policy, annual action-plan approval and actual awareness activity establish partial action. They do not establish the full permanent prevention/treatment/rehabilitation scheme promised.
02 · Strength of evidence
Why medium confidence?
Public-broadcaster reporting confirms the September policy approval, October reporting identifies the 15 October government resolution, and Lok Bhavan confirms a September awareness event and portal launch. Approved funds are not assumed to have been spent or to prove treatment outcomes.
What would help us reassess?
The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.
- The implementing scheme/order and durable funding arrangements, district-wise operational prevention/treatment/rehabilitation services, expenditure and verified beneficiary/outcome records.
Status describes delivery. Confidence describes the evidence.
