Modi ahead

Programme output counted only for India. No comparator country publishes an equivalent series, so no synthetic counterfactual can be estimated. The verdict here compares observed Indian figures over time — a weaker basis than the estimated indicators.

What this measures

Houses built for poor households, in crore houses, period total. A rising number is an improvement. Reported by Ministry of Rural Development / MoHUA — IAY and PMAY-G, PMAY-U.

It stood at 2.05 in 2014, and under Modi’s current India reached 3.99 by 2024 — a rise of 95%. That is an improvement against India’s pre-2014 figure.

No comparison country reports an equivalent series, so there is no Rahul's India to compare against. This is a before-and-after reading, not a treatment effect.

Indira Awaas Yojana completions across 2004–14 against PMAY-G and PMAY-U completions across 2014–26 — 2.99 crore rural plus 1.00 crore urban. The periods differ in length: 0.21 crore a year under IAY against 0.33 crore a year under PMAY, about +60% on an annual basis. The UPA-era total is disputed; published fact-checks put the same period at different figures depending on whether sanctioned or completed houses are counted.

The counterfactual is 'India without the 2014 structural break', estimated from comparator countries. It is not a forecast of any individual's policies.
