In the last 10 years, the decisions that the nation has taken with long-term planning are unprecedented: Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on October 21 in Gwalior said that the Central government in the past 10 years has taken various unprecedented decisions with long-term planning, and has also freed the nation from several pending tasks, including 33% reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies with the passage of the women’s reservation Bill, abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, the one rank one pension for ex-servicemen, implementation of the Goods and Services Tax, and the banning of triple talaq. Also present were Madhya Pradesh Governor Mangubhai Patel; Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan; Union Minister Narendra Singh Tomar; Union Minister Jitendra Singh, an alumnus of the school; and Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, who is also the president of the school’s board of directors. We completed all these tasks,” Mr. Modi said, adding, “I have a long list of these works that it will take the whole night.” Saying that it was necessary to eradicate poverty from India, the Prime Minister said that the government would not rest until every poor person in the country had a gas connection, a bank account, a pucca house, and an Ayushman Bharat card. Mr. Modi also gave “homework” to the students and asked them to be engaged in various tasks, including conservation of water and nature, and cleanliness.
