PM says his govt fulfils promises made in poll manifesto

Never spoken against minorities, but will not accept any special citizens'

BHUBANESWAR: Indicating implementation of the One Nation, One Election and Uniform Civil Code plans if he returns to power, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said his government fulfils promises made in the BJP's election manifesto.

In an interview to PTI, the prime minister said he has added 25 more days to the 100-day plan for his next term to seek suggestions from the youth of the country on what they expect from the government immediately after coming back to power.

Before the Lok Sabha elections were announced, Modi had asked all ministries to prepare a 100-day plan for the implementation of projects for the next government.

"And now, I have added 25 more days to this plan, where I would take the suggestions of India's Yuva Shakti. What do they expect us to do the first thing after coming back to power? It is ultimately their expectations that I am here to fulfil and how they want the nation to develop," he said.

Asked whether One Nation, One Election and a central law on UCC would be part of the 100-day exercise, Modi said these were part of the BJP's manifesto for the Lok Sabha elections and "one thing you would appreciate and that is we fulfil our manifesto promises".

"If you had observed me and my working style, you would have known that this is not the first time that I have entered the election fray with the vision for the first 100 days of the new government. I have been practicing this since the time I was the chief minister of Gujarat," Modi said.
