Meeting in New Delhi for the final time before the announcement of the Lok Sabha election schedule, the Union Council of Ministers, expressing confidence in the ruling alliance's return to power for a third consecutive term, discussed yesterday (3 March) a 100-day action plan to be implemented by the new government after the polls.
The day-long meeting, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, featured presentations by secretaries on a vision document for Viksit Bharat 2047 and a detailed action plan for the next five years, as per a report by The Indian Express.
The Prime Minister's vision for Viksit Bharat was outlined in these presentations, highlighting goals such as eliminating poverty, providing skills to every youth, and achieving 100 per cent coverage of welfare schemes.
Modi reportedly urged the officers to continue their work on government projects and schemes without treating the election period as a vacation. He emphasised that the government would return after the elections with renewed vigour and zeal.
According to the same report, the roadmap for Viksit Bharat had been developed over two years through a whole-of-government approach involving all ministries and extensive consultations with state governments, academia, industry bodies, civil society, and youth.
The roadmap includes a comprehensive blueprint with national vision, aspirations, goals, and action points.
Goals such as economic growth, sustainable development, ease of living, ease of doing business, infrastructure development, and social welfare are part of this vision.
A 100-day agenda for immediate steps after the formation of the new government in May has also been prepared for quick implementation.
The council's meeting took place as the Election Commission of India is expected to announce the Lok Sabha election schedule soon, with parties working on manifestos, campaign plans, and candidate lists.
On Saturday, the BJP released its first list of candidates for 195 seats across states and Union Territories.
Prime Minister Modi, who has been touring states, is scheduled to visit Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Odisha, West Bengal and Bihar on 4-6 March for various inaugurations and foundation stone laying ceremonies for development projects.
