100 days of Modi 3.0: BJP, ministries gear up to share success stories

The BJP as well as different ministries and departments have made elaborate plans to mark the NDA government’s 100 days in office on Tuesday, which coincides with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 74th birthday. Several Union Ministers will hold press conferences in the national capital to give a report card on the first 100 days of the third term of the Modi government.
To mark the milestone, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw will address a press conference at 10:15 am.
Separately, BJP president JP Nadda will launch a blood donation camp under ‘Seva Pakhwada’. He will also inaugurate an exhibition on Modi’s life at the BJP headquarters to mark the Prime Minister’s birthday.
The Ministry for fisheries, animal husbandry and dairying, led by Rajiv Ranjan Singh, will also hold its first press conference and highlight the achievements of the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana. The Rs 6,000 crore scheme is aimed at enhancing fishery production, quality, and export potential.
Union Minister for MSME Jitan Ram Manjhi will also address a press conference to give a report card on the ministry’s achievements.
PM Modi and his new Council of Ministers were administered the oath on June 9, 2024, after the BJP-led NDA scraped past the majority mark in the Lok Sabha election to return to power for a third consecutive term.
The first 100 days have been marked by a determined infrastructural development push, with the government clearing and approving projects worth Rs 3 lakh crore, including the Polavaram irrigation project in Andhra Pradesh. Roads, ports, and airports have been the primary focus of the government.
Speaking at an event in Ahmedabad, PM Modi said despite taunts and insults by the opposition, he worked to ensure that the government’s agenda for the first 100 days was completed.
“In the first 100 days of my third term, they made fun of me and insulted me. But I chose not to respond to any of their insults and ensure that the government’s agenda for 100 days was completed,” PM Modi said on Monday.
However, the first 100 days have also seen the BJP, which is dependent on its allies to remain in power, retracting some of its decisions — a point that has been highlighted by the opposition.
Apart from withdrawal of the advertisement for lateral entry into top posts in central ministries, a draft of the Broadcasting Services (Regulation) Bill was also pulled back amid concerns that it would lead to greater government control over online content.
“From day one, Modi has proven to be a weak Prime Minister, dependent on crutches, setting new records for U-turns,” Congress’s Supriya Shrinate said.
