The third term of the BJP-led NDA government heralded a continuation of the party’s agenda, marked by a mix of economic reforms, social policies, and foreign affairs initiatives. Building upon the successes and challenges of its previous tenures, the government pursued a range of initiatives aimed at transforming India’s socio-economic landscape while navigating domestic and international complexities. Economically, the government focused on bolstering growth, job creation, and infrastructure development. Initiatives like “Make in India” aimed to boost domestic manufacturing and attract foreign investment, while measures such as the Goods and Services Tax (GST) aimed to streamline taxation and improve ease of doing business. On the social front, the government continued its emphasis on schemes like Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, aimed at improving sanitation and cleanliness, and Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, focused on female empowerment and education. Efforts to address issues like air pollution and healthcare infrastructure were also prioritized, although challenges remained in achieving equitable access and outcomes across the country. In terms of foreign policy, the government pursued a proactive approach, strengthening ties with key partners while navigating regional and global dynamics. Initiatives like the Act East Policy aimed to deepen engagement with Southeast Asia, while relations with major powers like the United States and Russia were bolstered through strategic partnerships. Despite challenges, the third term of the BJP-led NDA government was characterized by a sense of continuity and momentum in governance. The party’s decisive mandate in successive elections underscored popular support for its vision and policies, while its leadership navigated complex realities with pragmatism and determination. As India continued its journey towards development and progress, the government’s actions and policies during this period played a significant role in shaping the country’s trajectory for years to come.
