Our Assessment

The manifesto promised abolition of an allegedly illegal moisture measurement system used against farmers during paddy procurement. Reporting as recent as December 2025 indicates the underlying problem persists rather than having been resolved: farmers continued to face load rejections at procurement centres due to strict moisture norms, compounded by unseasonal rains, contributing to procurement disputes and unpaid bonus arrears. No approved-source evidence was found of a reform abolishing the disputed moisture measurement practice. Because the grievance the promise targeted appears to continue rather than to have been addressed, the verdict is pending, with a real case for broken given continuing farmer distress from the same underlying practice. Budget: not applicable; this is a procurement-procedure commitment. [source to be replaced: the ongoing moisture-rejection reporting rests on a source outside the strict approved list and should be upgraded when an approved source is available]
