New Delhi:
The Narendra Modi government completed 3 years today. Marking the third anniversary, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a number of infrastructure projects in Assam today, one of them being India's longest bridge - The Bhupen Hazarika bridge, also known as the Dhola-Sadiya bridge. In 2014, Narendra Modi led the Bharatiya Janata Party or BJP to a massive victory in the general elections - known as the Lok Sabha elections, following which he was sworn-in as Prime Minister on May 26 that year. Celebrations to mark the government's third anniversary will derive much substance from the personal brand of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and will last 20 days. PM Modi will personally lead five programs, the first of which will be held in Guwahati in Assam. To capitalise on the moment, the Prime Minister wrote a letter addressed to the common man. 2 crore copies of which were printed and dispatched since May 20 to ensure that they are delivered before May 26. The recipients are beneficiaries of various welfare schemes. Apart from the letters, 10 crores text messages will also be sent to people across the country. 900 venues around the country have been selected for functions; each will be assigned to ministers and MPs.
