Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Historic Independence Day Address: What to Expect

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the center of attention as he prepares to deliver significant announcements during his inaugural Independence Day address of his third term at the historic Red Fort this Thursday. Following in the footsteps of Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi, Modi will become the third Prime Minister to speak from the Red Fort on 11 consecutive Independence Day celebrations, surpassing former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s record of 10 speeches. As the critical Assembly elections draw near in Maharashtra, Haryana, Jharkhand, and Jammu and Kashmir, insiders suggest that Modi is likely to unveil major welfare initiatives. Against the backdrop of turmoil in Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Myanmar, Modi is anticipated to discuss India’s relations with its neighboring countries. Speculation also points to Modi addressing issues concerning Jammu and Kashmir, which is currently facing escalated threats from Pakistan-backed terrorist groups.
