Substantially fulfilledEvidence A
02

Expand banking and financial-service access for households.

Draw a Uniform Civil Code for the country.

No nationwide Uniform Civil Code had been enacted by the 27 August 2026 cutoff. The 2024 commitment remains within an ongoing parliamentary term, so this is a current-status finding rather than a final term verdict.

Implement One Nation, One Election for the Lok Sabha and state assemblies.

Simultaneous elections had not been established by the 27 August 2026 cutoff. Bills were introduced in December 2024 and remained before a Joint Committee, so the promised system was not yet law. The present parliamentary term is ongoing.

BJP Election Manifesto, 2014

Initiate building 100 new technology-enabled cities.

The promise was not delivered as written. The Smart Cities Mission instead selected existing cities through a competitive process and allowed retrofitting, redevelopment, greenfield development or a mix; it did not constitute construction of 100 new cities.

Go beyond
the headline.

Full-text explainers on major laws, foreign agreements and policy architectures—with the upside, downside and public clauses that are often skipped.

16DOSSIERS IN THIS GOVERNING VIEWCross-government records appear in both views.
Policy architecture · 2009Digital government

Aadhaar — one identity rail built across two governments

The project began administratively, became a statute in 2016 and was constitutionally narrowed in 2018. Authentication convenience and exclusion risk are two sides of the same design.

2 under-read clauses
Treaty · 2015Borders & citizenship

The land boundary settlement — exchanging enclaves and legalising daily life

A 1974 agreement, a 2011 protocol and a 2015 constitutional settlement ended an extraordinary map of enclaves, adverse possessions and stateless administration.

2 under-read clauses
Law · 2016Finance & corporate law

Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code — speed, creditor control and the haircut question

IBC shifted control away from defaulting management, but value recovery depends on tribunal capacity, timing and what buyers will actually pay.

2 under-read clauses
Defence pact · 2020Defence & intelligence

LEMOA, COMCASA and BECA — what the three defence pacts actually unlock

They are enabling agreements for logistics, secure communications and geospatial information—not a mutual-defence treaty, but a consequential interoperability architecture.

2 under-read clauses
Tax protocol · 2016Tax & investment

The Mauritius tax protocol — closing one treaty route without retroactive shock

India gained source-based capital-gains taxation, but protected old investments and phased the change through a half-rate transition.

2 under-read clauses
Law · 2017Tax & federalism

GST — one market built through a federal bargain

The constitutional redesign pooled Union and State tax power, but petroleum, alcohol, compensation and rate-setting reveal how incomplete “one tax” always was.

2 under-read clauses
Court-tested scheme · 2017Political finance

Electoral Bonds — anonymous to the public, traceable through the bank

The scheme was sold as clean banking-channel money. Its deeper design removed public donor visibility and the corporate cap while preserving an official data trail.

2 under-read clauses
Law · 2020Agriculture

The three farm laws — market opening, private contracts and the trust failure

The Acts changed where produce could trade, how farming agreements were enforced and when stock limits applied. Their text did not abolish MSP—but it did not guarantee MSP either.

NDA / CURRENT STATUS

Promises that
remained undone.

This chapter contains every commitment classified not fulfilled in the site’s current evidence set. It does not pretend that every sentence in every manifesto is measurable. The cutoff is 27 August 2026; the present term is still ongoing.

VERIFIED NOT FULFILLED

Each finding separates the original commitment, the assessment date and any partial government action.

01
BJP manifestos, 2014, 2019 and 2024

Draw a Uniform Civil Code for the country.

No nationwide Uniform Civil Code had been enacted by the 27 August 2026 cutoff. The 2024 commitment remains within an ongoing parliamentary term, so this is a current-status finding rather than a final term verdict.

2 evidence sources · Grade A
NOT FULFILLED
READ THIS STATUS CAREFULLY

“Not fulfilled” means the defined commitment was not completed by the stated cutoff. It does not mean no action was taken, and for commitments renewed in 2024 it is not a prediction about the remainder of the current term.
