Original manifesto wording
“Forest Rights Act, which was passed by the INC Government under the leadership of Smt. Sonia Gandhi ji, will be strictly implemented to provide pattas for Podu lands to all the eligible beneficiaries.”
Our Assessment
The declaration promised strict implementation of the Forest Rights Act to provide Podu land pattas to all eligible beneficiaries. A large Podu patta distribution took place in 2023, largely as an exercise of the previous government before the change of government, and aspects of it are under scrutiny by a Supreme Court committee. No approved-source evidence was found that the current government has completed a comprehensive fresh implementation of the Forest Rights Act extending pattas to all remaining eligible beneficiaries as of July 2026. This promise is related to but distinct from the separately catalogued commitment on full sale and resale ownership rights for Podu and assigned lands. Absent verifiable delivery of comprehensive patta issuance to all eligible under this government, the verdict is pending. Budget: not applicable; no approved-source allocation evidence was found.
