Increase farmers' income through public investment and higher profitability
“BJP commits highest priority to agricultural growth, increase in farmer's income and rural development.”

The verdict
The manifesto does not say 'doubling'; the government announced a target of doubling farmer income by 2022 in February 2016 (base 2013). The source has no independent data showing the target was met; a 2026 ministerial claim that it was met is unverified.
Rule applied: Partially kept: under 25% of the target met → 3
Implied deadline (end of term): 26 May 2019Confidence: lowAI draft · review pending
