The agenda for Team Modi 3.0
India TodayWhen Narendra Modi entered the hallowed precincts of South Block on June 10, officials who had worked with him in the Prime Minister’s Office lined the corridor and greeted him with applause. Modi walked straight to his spartan corner office and the first document he signed was an order authorising the release of the 17th instalment of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi to distribute Rs 2,000 each to the 93 million farmers in the country, an expense of Rs 20,000 crore for the exchequer. Unlike the previous stints, he is heading a coalition government in his third term, Election 2024 having thrown up a verdict that saw the Bharatiya Janata Party surprisingly falling short of a simple majority of 272 seats in the 543-member Lok Sabha. A warm welcome for PM Modi as he arrives at the PMO on Day 1 of Term 3.0, Jun.
