In this issue

PRIME MINISTER Narendra Modi made history on 10 June when he
strode through the corridors of South Block on Raisina Hill. He became
the second Indian prime minister after Jawaharlal Nehru to step into a
third term. At his first Cabinet meeting the prime minister of the world’s
largest democracy set the tone of his government’s stance, by signing
the 17th instalment of the PM Kisan Nidhi and by approving three crore
rural and urban houses as part of the PM Awas Yojana. The two decisions
reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to the ‘Four Castes’– the
Garib (poor), Mahilayein (women), Yuva (youth) and Annadata (food
growers).
Later in the evening when Rashtrapati Bhawan released the list of
key ministries and portfolios, it was quite evident that the Modi 3.0
government was committed to both continuity of the policies of the
National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and to the dynamics of coalition
politics. Prime Minister Modi retained key Cabinet portfolios to ensure
that the economic reforms that his government had initiated over the
past decade were sustained. It was a clear message to the Opposition
that the momentum of the reforms were unimpaired. As S. Ravi writes
in his column in this issue, ‘Continuity, Balance and Transformation’
were among the key expectations from the NDA.
Happy reading!
