Modi holds review meet on 100-day agenda implementation, as exit polls indicate a third term for NDA government

A day after exit polls declared that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely en route to a third term, he held a review meeting on a 100-day programme that his team will seek to implement once government formation is completed. According to sources, at least 10 groups, each headed by a Secretary-level official as a coordinator, have been created to implement this agenda over the first 100 days of the new government. The BJP manifesto has committed to holding simultaneous polls for the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies, and sources say that coming up with a common electoral roll, which is key to that exercise, is part of the 100-day plan. Some of these groups made presentations on Sunday to the Prime Minister, who also chaired review meetings on the aftermath of Cyclone Remal, and the challenges arising out of the heatwave hitting northern and western India.
