A confident government, which is not on the defensive but plans to implement its big agenda in the coming days — this is what a flurry of major decisions in the first 100 days of ‘Modi 3.0’ show.
Going ahead, the ‘One Nation One Poll’ will be implemented in the tenure of this government, sources have told News18. The report of the Ram Nath Kovind Committee is already with the Centre. The Centre could also begin the census exercise soon and has an “open mind” to include caste in the same though no decision has been taken about it, with a discussion being on about the same. The Centre will also take steps to restore statehood to Jammu & Kashmir in the minimum possible time post elections. The reports of 4-5 states on studying contours of a ‘Uniform Civil Code’ are expected in the next couple of months, after Uttarakhand has implemented it.
This follows several decisions taken in the first 100 days of the government which complete on September 17, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi had put bureaucrats on the job before the Lok Sabha elections to draw up plans for the first 100 days. The BJP is clear that the 240-seat verdict for it is also historic as it had left many seats for its allies in a pre-poll alliance and did not contest all 543 seats itself. The NDA allies have won many of those seats, while the Congress itself could not cross 99 seats.
