Pumping money into a scheme doesn't count as keeping a promise if you quietly rewrite the eligibility rules to exclude the very people who need it most. Delta farmers are furious because an unconditional, blanket waiver was promised to small and marginal farmers—yet this rollout came loaded with riders that restrict relief primarily to SHGs under strict caps. When farmer leaders have to point back to the clean waivers of 2006 and 2021 to show how they've been shortchanged, this must be logged as a broken commitment.
