Overview
- The West Bengal government unveiled the 'BJP Sarkar Promises' website Wednesday, listing 140 pledges and showing 11 marked as in progress.
- The site displays a real-time timer counting down roughly five years to deliver the remaining 129 commitments, with a snapshot posted at 8:07 pm on May 13.
- Items flagged as underway include a crackdown on infiltration, Rs 3,000 monthly support for women, ending the 'cut money' practice, a Uniform Civil Code bill, and the rollout of central health and welfare schemes.
- After taking office on May 9, the cabinet approved land transfer to the Border Security Force for Bangladesh border fencing and cleared immediate implementation of Ayushman Bharat and the Census in the state.
- The tracker debuts after the BJP ended Mamata Banerjee’s three-term rule in West Bengal, and many goals will hinge on new laws, funding, and coordination with the central government.
