Swaraj will interact with ministers for knowing about the work done by them and she will forward reports to Modi.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asked bureaucrats and council of ministers to speed up the pace of work in the aftermath of the Bihar assembly election debacle. Even though 20 months have passed ever since the Modi government has come to power but no headway has been made in the implementation of the promises made by it. The opposition too has accused the government for making promises and failing to deliver them. Modi has taken a serious note of the policy paralysis and asked bureaucrats to pull up their socks and take the government agenda forward. For achieving this objective, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj is here on two-day visit to the city to reach out to the people on the work done by the NDA government. Since past one week BJP leaders in the state were busy grooming themselves and many of them were asked to gather students and attract crowds for Swaraj’s visit.
Swaraj will interact with ministers for knowing about the work done by them and she will forward reports to Modi. Last month Rahul Gandhi had undertaken a visit to Mumbai for reviving Congress party in the state. He received very good response from the people. In an attempt to revamp BJP and keep check on work done by state leaders PMO has asked Swaraj to visit the city.
She will also interact with groups representing various strata of society, at Lavender Baug in Ghatkopar on Friday and at Kalidas Complex in Mulund on January 30. Swaraj will meet students, youth, SMEs, Small Traders, Mahila Bachat Gut, chartered accountants, legal and medical professionals, teachers, unorganised labourers and businessmen. She will also address BJP leaders in one to one meeting.
Earlier Modi had emphasised on faster delivery of the government’s developmental agenda as he embarked on a comprehensive review of the ongoing schemes in a first of its kind meeting of the Council of Ministers. Despite having majority in Lok Sabha the Modi government has been finding it difficult to pass key legislations as it lacks numbers in Rajya Sabha. The results of panchayat and civic body elections too have come as a wake-up call for the government to perform or perish.
