The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) promised "Modi's guarantees" in the run-up to the last year's Assembly elections and the 2024 Lok Sabha elections in Chhattisgarh. What is the current status of these promises?

The government's first decision was to announce 1.8 million houses for the poor under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, something on which the previous Congress government had failed. We have implemented the Mahtari Vandana Yojana for women and deposited its five instalments until now. We have also fulfilled our promise of paying unpaid dues of ₹3,716 crore to 1.3 million farmers. The state saw a record procurement of 14.5 million tonnes of paddy at the minimum support price. The BJP won 10 of the 11 Lok Sabha seats in Chhattisgarh and improved its vote share to 52.65 per cent.
