"₹15 lakh in every Indian's bank account" — Amit Shah called it a jumla, on record
This isn’t against any party or person. It’s for promises kept. We hold every government — present and future — to the same test: what was promised, what was delivered, what’s still possible.

A million can't be ignored.
The New India Government isn't a party — it's a movement of citizens who read the evidence, ask the hard question, and share the answer. No leaders to buy off. No narrative to sell. Just numbers, growing, that can't be hidden.
If the numbers don't add up, neither does the promise.
Every line below is a public, citable data point. Read it, share it, demand answers — that's how we make the next promise harder to break.
net jobs LOST · CMIE
Jobs lost, not created
~70 lakh net jobs lost between 2016-17 and 2022-23 (CMIE) — the opposite of the headline promise of 2 crore new jobs a year.

The Reckoning
Four truths
the headlines
won't tell you.
Every claim below is sourced, dated, and cross-referenced. No spin. No partisan framing. Just what the government's own data quietly admits.
What they say · What's true
The gap between
the podium and
the paperwork.
"India has achieved record-breaking GDP growth — fastest growing major economy."
Independent NSO data shows growth is concentrated in financial markets, not real wages. Median household income has stagnated for 3 consecutive years.
"Youth unemployment is at historic lows."
CMIE's real-time tracking puts urban youth unemployment at 45%. Government uses a redefined "employed" category that includes unpaid family labour.
"The PM holds an economics degree from Harvard."
Harvard's registrar has no record. The institution clarified after a public RTI campaign. The claim was quietly removed from official bios — never publicly retracted.
Every entry is reproducible. Every source is public. Every footnote, free to verify.

Investigations,
fresh off the desk.
Did Nepal Halt Indian Mango Imports Over Pesticides After Japan's Ban?
Nepal has restricted Indian mango imports citing pesticide residues, weeks after Japan suspended Indian mango shipments — though Japan's reason was disinfection lapses, not pesticides.
Did the Iran war push IRCTC back to onboard cooking?
IRCTC is indeed switching pantry cars to induction cooking amid an LPG crunch tied to the US–Israel–Iran war and the Strait of Hormuz closure — but the 'cooking again' framing needs context.
Did Kirti Azad really call TMC defection list 'fake'?
ABP Live accurately reported TMC's Kirti Azad dismissing claims of 20 MPs backing the NDA — but the underlying numbers remain contested between the rebel faction and party loyalists.

Five pillars.
One promise.
The New India Government isn't a political party. It's the standard every party should be held to. Here's what we stand for — and refuse to compromise on.
- I
Truth Without Permission
We publish what the data shows — even when it embarrasses power. No editorial veto from advertisers, party offices, or PR firms.
- II
Transparency, Always
Every claim links to its source. Every funding rupee is disclosed. Every correction is dated and visible. Forever.
- III
Citizen Accountability
Petitions you can actually sign. Polls that aren't curated. Voices from every state — recorded, archived, public.
- IV
Evidence Over Outrage
No screaming panels. No prime-time theatre. Just verifiable claims, primary documents, and the patience to read them carefully.
- V
A Government Worth Trusting
Not a party. Not a personality. A standard — for every Indian elected representative, current and future, to be measured against.
