Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered three key messages to his council of ministers, urging them to speed up governance, prepare for possible energy disruptions, and stay focused on the long-term goal of 'Viksit Bharat 2047'.
Modi stressed the need for faster governance, warning ministers against bureaucratic delays and emphasizing the importance of transparency and quicker outcomes.
He also highlighted the need to prepare for possible energy disruptions caused by the US-Iran war, particularly in view of disruptions in supplies of crude oil, gas, and fertilizers.
Modi reiterated the government's long-term development vision, urging ministers to focus on 'next generation reforms' that directly improve people's lives and ensure maximum benefits from welfare programmes.
The meeting came amid speculation of a cabinet reshuffle and at a time when the Opposition has stepped up attacks on the government over inflation, fuel prices, and the broader economic impact of the West Asia conflict.
