Ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave his Council of Ministers a fairly straightforward message during a day-long meeting that he chaired: “Go, win. I’ll see you shortly. The purpose of the important meeting was to discuss a comprehensive action plan for the following five years as well as to brainstorm ideas for the vision document, “Viksit Bharat 2047.”
Sources claim that PM Modi advised ministers to exercise caution when interacting with individuals, “particularly during elections.”
The Prime Minister also counseled the ministers to steer clear of controversy and exercise caution when it came to deepfakes during his nearly hour-long speech to them.
“Please exercise caution before speaking. Be wary of the deepfake trend that is popular right now, as the prime minister was cited by a source as saying. Voice, among other things, can be changed.
Deepfake videos are artificial media in which the person’s likeness is substituted for the real person in an already-existing image or video.
“Speak about the schemes, avoid controversial statements,” he stated.
According to the sources, the Prime Minister stated that the upcoming full budget, which will be presented in June, should show a glimpse of a “Viksit Bharat (developed India).” It is believed that he requested that business associations such as CII and FICCI be encouraged to initiate discussions on the topic and that Viksit Bharat seminars be added to the departmental agenda. According to the sources, PM Modi requested that departments create an action plan and submit ideas for it.
Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman unveiled an interim budget on February 1 in 2024, a year that will see elections. A new government will be formed before the entire budget is presented. By May, the general election is scheduled.
