The Modi government refers to the cabinet led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who became the 14th Prime Minister of India in May 2014. The government is headed by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its allies within the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), a coalition of political parties.
Under Modi’s leadership, the government has focused on transformative initiatives aimed at economic growth, infrastructure development, and national security. Some of the landmark policies include the introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (GST), demonetisation of high-value currency notes in 2016, and the controversial revocation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, which ended the region’s special status. The Modi government has also emphasized initiatives such as ‘Make in India,’ ‘Digital India,’ ‘Skill India,’ and the ‘Swachh Bharat Abhiyan’ (Clean India Mission).
While it has received praise for boosting economic growth and improving infrastructure, it has also faced significant criticism. Its handling of the anti-CAA protests, the 2020 farmers’ protests, and issues surrounding the delivery of data—such as the absence of a national census and the lack of transparency regarding COVID-19 death tolls—has sparked public debate. The government has also been criticized for its response to social issues, such as the Hathras rape case and the conflict in Manipur.
Despite these challenges, the Modi government, now in its third term, continues to maintain a dominant political presence, securing electoral victories at both state and national levels.
“Ensuring that one member in every family downloads the Aarogya Setu app” – Atleast Govt realized now mandating app to an individual is not right and moved to the family level. But In my view, Govt cannot mandate an app unless each and every citizen in India are capable enough to buy a smartphone. I believe still minimum of 25% percentage of citizens will not have smartphones are any phones. Govt should work towards improving their life. Then it can mandate using smartphones. And it’s an individual’s wish to use gadgets or not. So If Govt is mandating to use an App, then Govt should provide the device and infrastructure(Internet) to use. The money needed for this may not be there with Govt, but it is with Politicians. This will happen only when Politicians become Social workers, currently, it’s not.
