Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government's initial 100 days are always significant. Upon winning the 2014 elections, the Modi government made impactful decisions like the formation of SIT on black money right in their first 100 days. Similarly, during the initial days of their second term, they took significant steps like the abolition of Triple Talaq and article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir. Now forming the government for the third time under PM Modi's leadership, the cabinet has been constituted, and ministers have assumed charge of their respective ministries.
Thus, attentions are drawn toward the Modi government's early 100-day game plan. From welfare measures for the farmers to initiatives for the poor, these initial days hold promises of significant decisions as ministers have started prioritizing post-assumption of their roles. What will be the topmost priorities of the 30 individuals in Modi's cabinet?
