NPP-2024-P-235

Increase the salaries of upcountry plantation workers compared to the cost of living.

NPP 2024Manifesto source

Why this status: Delivered substantially as promised. The 2026 Budget raised the basic daily wage from Rs. 1,350 to Rs. 1,550 and added a Rs. 200 attendance incentive; the President's Office later reported a Rs. 1,750 daily wage. The basic-wage increase (+14.8%) and full attended-day package (+29.6%) both exceeded the CCPI increase from 190.9 in September 2024 to 208.8 in August 2026 (+9.4%), using DCS's 2021=100 series. Caveat: the Rs. 200 is attendance-dependent, is not EPF-eligible, and Parliament said its MoU-based mechanism needs a stronger legal footing. The pledge called for wages to rise relative to living costs, not a permanent automatic-indexation formula.

Provide financial assistance to elderly individuals facing financial difficulties.

NPP 2024Manifesto source

Why this status: Delivered substantially as promised. The 2025 Budget increased the monthly allowance for elderly people from Rs. 3,000 to Rs. 5,000 from April 2025, providing direct financial assistance to elderly recipients facing financial hardship. The assistance is welfare-targeted rather than universal, which is consistent with the pledge's focus on financial difficulty.

How assessments are made

One model assembles a fixed evidence file from statements and official documents. A second model assesses the promise from that evidence file, so it cannot choose the evidence that supports its own conclusion.

A promise without evidence remains unassessed. Assessments are automatically published, not editorially reviewed, and every rated promise includes its date, assessor, sources, and a route to dispute the record.
