1. 01. Drive development and infrastructure expansion in Akola and Vidarbha under the BJP's Viksit Bharat vision.

   IN PROGRESS

   The 'Viksit Bharat' vision is a long-term national agenda of the BJP government, focusing on comprehensive development. While the government is actively pursuing this, it is too early in the MP's recent tenure for specific, new infrastructure expansion projects in Akola and Vidarbha directly driven by him to show concrete fulfillment.

2. 02. Build 3 crore additional houses for the poor, including urban and rural beneficiaries in Vidarbha.

   IN PROGRESS

   The Modi 3.0 cabinet, immediately after taking office in June 2024, approved assistance for the construction of 3 crore additional houses under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY). The actual construction and allocation will be an ongoing, multi-year process.

3. 03. Advocate for enhanced crop insurance, railway freight concessions for cotton, and irrigation projects for the cotton-growing Vidarbha belt.

   UNVERIFIED

   While agricultural support is an ongoing government focus, there is no publicly available information within Anup Dhotre's short tenure as an MP to confirm specific actions he has taken to advocate for these particular enhancements (enhanced crop insurance, railway freight concessions for cotton, new irrigation projects), nor have these specific concessions/enhancements been announced for Vidarbha.

4. 04. Implement a Uniform Civil Code for gender equality and national integration.

   IN PROGRESS

   The Uniform Civil Code (UCC) is a long-standing promise in the BJP's 2024 manifesto. The government has reaffirmed its commitment, and steps towards national implementation are anticipated; however, a national UCC has not yet been enacted.
