New Delhi – Prime Minister Narendra Modi has marked a historic milestone by leading his government to a third consecutive term in office, a feat not achieved in India for 60 years. In his speech to the media in front of Parliament, PM Modi expressed pride in this achievement, emphasizing its significance for the country’s governance.

Historic Achievement:

PM Modi highlighted the uniqueness of this victory, equating it to the achievements of India’s first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, who also secured three consecutive terms. The recent election results saw the BJP and its allies in the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) securing enough seats to form a government, although the BJP fell short of an outright majority in the Lok Sabha​.

Significance of the Upcoming Budget:

The Prime Minister underscored the importance of the upcoming budget, the first one to be presented after forming the government for the third time. He stated that this budget would lay a strong foundation for the next five years, setting the direction for achieving the goal of ‘Vikasit Bharat’ (Developed India). This budget is seen as a crucial step in promoting good governance and economic growth​.

Coalition Government:

For the first time, PM Modi will lead a coalition government, sharing power with NDA allies due to the BJP not securing a majority on its own. The new Council of Ministers includes a diverse representation of social groups and members from various NDA partners, ensuring broad-based governance.

Conclusion:

PM Modi’s third term as Prime Minister marks a significant chapter in India’s political history. The upcoming budget and the government’s policies will be pivotal in shaping the future of the nation, aiming for comprehensive development and progress.
