1. 01. Fulfill Prime Minister Narendra Modi's development vision for India (Viksit Bharat) by focusing on infrastructural and youth development in Vadodara.

   IN PROGRESS

   As a newly elected BJP MP (December 2024), aligning with the party's national 'Viksit Bharat' vision and initiating work on its principles in his constituency is an ongoing commitment. Specific achievements within weeks are unlikely, but efforts towards this broad goal are considered to have commenced.

2. 02. Promised to serve the people of Vadodara actively rather than acting as a ruler, citing his academic background in Servant Leadership.

   UNVERIFIED

   This is a qualitative promise concerning an MP's leadership style and requires a longer period of observation and public feedback to verify. Given his very recent election (December 2024), sufficient objective evidence to assess this is not yet available.

3. 03. Increase domestic and international flight connectivity from Vadodara International Airport to boost trade and travel.

   UNVERIFIED

   Enhancing flight connectivity involves complex negotiations and approvals with airlines and airport authorities, which typically take significant time. As of early 2025, there are no specific public announcements or official reports confirming new domestic or international routes directly attributable to the MP's efforts since his election in December 2024.

4. 04. Relocate the Central Gujarat National Highway Regional Office to Vadodara for better emergency response and traffic management.

   UNVERIFIED

   Official administrative changes, such as the relocation of a regional government office, would be publicly announced by the relevant ministry (e.g., MoRTH) or department (e.g., NHAI). As of early 2025, there is no publicly available information or official notification confirming this relocation.
