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.

Admission by the PM that economy is in problem sends a negative signal. Even if the causes are other than general world slow down, the clean image of a leader can withstand that. All the leader in the past who lost out because of economic reasons had a major chunk of corruption aspect attached to the person or his administration. It was a given that to remain in power money had to be made which magnified the slowing economy, leading to change of rulers. Unfortunately, the opposition and its supporters can not accept, that despite best and genuine efforts, one may not get the intended result so somehow they want to bring in the corruption angle.

Economic issues don’t yet have a constituency in electoral matrix … In that case, what hit Durga out of the park when she was at the peak of her popularity ? 2. There is a saying in Marathi that one can conjure up anything, except the fragrance of a freshly printed currency note. Nothing intellectual about the economy, that comes out of a scholarly Blog. Each household, at every step of the economic pyramid, is part of it. Everyone is hurting, all the way up to the tycoons who are losing their businesses. 3. Consider the figures of how much foreign portfolio investors have pulled out in the last three months, what Indians are officially remitting out each year. They are voting with their cheque books. 4. The time for spin, PR, sophistry is long past. Get a grip before it is too late.
