TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Just 11 days after taking over for his second term, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has met secretaries of all departments and told them to work for the “ease of living” since the expectations from the government are huge as reflected by the electoral mandate.
The Prime Minister said every department of the Union government and every district of each state has a role to play in making India a five-trillion-dollar economy and urged everyone to hit the ground running to fulfil the aspirations of the people.
In the presence of Union ministers Rajnath Singh, Amit Shah, Nirmala Sitharaman and Jitendra Singh, the Prime Minister said the mandate in the Lok Sabha polls reflected the will and aspirations of the people to change the “status quo” and seek a better life for themselves.
“The recent general election was marked by pro-incumbency for which credit must go to the entire team of officials. They worked hard, conceived schemes and delivered excellent results on the ground over the last five years,” Modi said, according to an official statement.
