“Pledge to banish destitution within a decade through an employment-oriented strategy based on Gandhian values.”
GOL GOL BAATEINNot scorable
The verdict
Vague aspirational commitment ('banish destitution within a decade') without operational metrics. The Janata government's rolling plan collapsed in 1979-80 and poverty reduction remained a multi-decade challenge. Not scored.
