Pressers On Feats, Booklet On Work Done: How Modi Sarkar Plans To Mark 1st Year Of 3rd Term
Last Updated:
PM Modi has instructed his colleagues to be prepared for public gatherings and media interviews and present data showing the situation during the UPA era versus the current regime
On June 9, 2025, the Narendra Modi government will celebrate the first year of its third term in office, also marking the eleventh year in power of the prime minister who first took office in 2014.
As with previous years, the government has significant plans to celebrate its achievements. On Wednesday, a detailed discussion took place during the Cabinet meeting chaired by PM Modi. Each ministry is required to submit a detailed report of their performance over the past year, highlighting their major achievements. BJP leaders who have been ministers for the past 11 years will also need to list the accomplishments of the government over this period. This information will be compiled into a detailed booklet for distribution across the country.
PM Modi has instructed his cabinet colleagues to be well-prepared for public gatherings and media interviews. Ministers have been asked to present comparative data, showing the situation during the UPA era versus the current NDA government.
Several important dates in June too need to be noted on the political calendar. On June 5, World Environment Day will be a significant event for India's global commitment to a cleaner, greener future. June 21 is World Yoga Day, celebrated widely in India and globally. This year, PM Modi will participate in the yoga programme in Visakhapatnam. Ministers will also travel across the country to join these yoga events.
To mark the first year of the new government, ministers have been asked to visit state capitals for press conferences and to continue reaching out to the public for the smooth implementation of central schemes. Some ministers may also be asked to write articles and editorials for prominent national and regional publications.
One of the most significant dates will be June 25, marking the 50th anniversary of the Emergency, which is considered the darkest chapter in India's independent history. The day, now commemorated as Samvidhan Hatya Divas, will feature several programmes at both central and state levels, including lectures by political leaders and cabinet ministers and honouring those who fought against the dictatorial rule.
On June 7, BJP national president JP Nadda will hold a press conference at the party headquarters to discuss the government's first year and the party's contributions. On Wednesday evening, he held an extensive meeting with party MPs and Union ministers to coordinate all the programmes mentioned by the prime minister. Along with Nadda, top leaders of NDA partners will also hold press conferences to discuss the benefits of the double-engine government in their respective states.
The information and broadcasting ministry will be the nodal ministry coordinating all programmes for both BJP and NDA ministers in the government.
On June 9, 2024, PM Modi and his council of ministers took the oath at Rashtrapati Bhavan, marking the BJP's third consecutive term in power. Modi thus became only the second prime minister in India since Independence to be elected for a third term in a row.

Ludhiana bypoll:
Ludhiana (Punjab) [India], June 15 (ANI): Days ahead of Ludhiana West bypolls, BJP leader and Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Sunday slammed the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), saying 'those who cheated and looted Delhi are today looting Punjab.' CM Gupta was campaigning for the BJP candidate, Jiwan Gupta, for the Ludhiana West bye-election scheduled for June 19. AAP has fielded sitting Rajya Sabha MP Sanjeev Arora from the seat, which fell vacant after the death of AAP MLA Gurpreet Bassi Gogi. The counting is on June 23. Gupta stated, 'Those who cheated and looted Delhi are today looting Punjab. We will not let this happen. The people of Delhi have sent me to Ludhiana. I have come here to tell the people about all their (AAP) acts, all their stories of corruption.' Her remarks targeted AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal, whom she earlier accused of causing spurious liquor deaths in Punjab and burdening the border state with a 'Rs 4 lakh crore debt.' Speaking to ANI, she also lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi for ensuring Punjab's security through Operation Sindoor, while slamming the Congress for lacking patriotism. Gupta said, 'These (Congress) people, they neither love the country nor the soil of the country, the Army or the people of the country. Today, Punjab is safe only and only because of PM Narendra Modi.' Earlier in a poll rally, she criticised Kejriwal for colluding with the 'builder mafia' and not having a single 'Punjabi or Sikh minister' in 10 years of AAP government in Delhi. 'There was not a single Punjabi or Sikh minister in 10 years of your tenure in the Delhi government,' she said, and further alleged that AAP's Punjab government is controlled by non-locals like Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain. Meanwhile, AAP's Delhi President Saurabh Bhardwaj on Sunday asked Gupta to clarify if the BJP's new excise policy will privatise liquor shops or not? Bhardwaj, speaking to ANI, said, 'I have a direct question for her (CM Rekha Gupta). BJP objected to the Delhi Excise Policy and claimed that liquor shops had been privatised. Later, the policy was scrapped, and the shops became government-owned again. Rekha Gupta should clarify if she will privatise liquor shops under the new Excise Policy. This will reveal who is in collusion with the liquor mafia. She should answer this.' (ANI)

AAP's Saurabh Bhardwaj challenges Delhi CM Rekha Gupta on liquor shop privatization
New Delhi [India], June 15 (ANI): Delhi Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) President Saurabh Bhardwaj on Sunday challenged Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta to clarify her stance on the privatization of liquor shops under the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) upcoming excise policy. The challenge came in response to Gupta's sharp criticism of AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal in Ludhiana, where she accused him of colluding with the 'builder mafia' and failing to curb spurious liquor deaths in Punjab. Speaking to ANI, Bhardwaj said, 'I have a direct question for her (CM Rekha Gupta). BJP objected to the Delhi Excise Policy and claimed that liquor shops had been privatized. Later, the policy was scrapped, and the shops became government-owned again. Rekha Gupta should clarify if she will privatize liquor shops under the new Excise Policy. This will reveal who is in collusion with the liquor mafia. She should answer this.' Earlier in the day, CM Gupta launched a scathing attack on Kejriwal during a public meeting in Ludhiana, Punjab, where she was campaigning for BJP candidate Jiwan Gupta in the Ludhiana West by-election scheduled for June 19. AAP has fielded sitting Rajya Sabha MP Sanjeev Arora as its candidate for the same seat. Addressing a gathering, Gupta said, 'People are dying from spurious liquor, but what are you (Arvind Kejriwal) doing? You are grabbing the land of poor farmers in connivance with the builder mafia. The people of Delhi, who had given you so much support, got a little angry with you, and you came and sat in Punjab... Arvind Kejriwal has hollowed out the state government... Today, you have buried it under a debt of 4 lakh crores due to your wrong policies.' Gupta also praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for Operation Sindoor's success and criticised Kejriwal's silence on the operation. She stated, 'Every person in the country was happy with Operation Sindoor... None of the drones (of Pakistan) crossed the Punjab border, which happened under PM Narendra Modi's guidance. But you did not utter a word in its praise... There was not a single Punjabi or Sikh minister in 10 years of your tenure in the Delhi government. The entire Punjab government runs under the command of Manish Sisodia, Satyendar Jain, Bibhav Kumar, and Raghav Chadha. What do they have to do with Punjab?' Earlier, Gupta received a warm welcome from Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) leaders at Sirhind in Fatehgarh Sahib district. (ANI)
