New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will speak to the nation at 5 pm today, sparking curiosity over its agenda. The announcement comes just a day before the launch of GST 2.0 reforms, fuelling speculation that the address may focus on the new tax regime or other pressing policy matters.
Possible Agenda for the Address
Officials have not confirmed the topic, but the timing suggests the Prime Minister may explain the GST 2.0 changes set to lower prices on food staples, medicines, electronics and cars from tomorrow. Analysts also point to the ongoing US crackdown on H-1B visa holders and New Delhi’s tariff tensions with Washington as potential themes for the speech.
Historic Context of PM’s Speeches
Since 2014, PM Modi has used nationwide addresses to unveil landmark measures such as demonetisation, the Balakot airstrikes, and the Covid-19 lockdown. His most recent address in May 2025 briefed citizens about Operation Sindoor following the Pahalgam terror attack. Today’s talk, coinciding with major tax reforms on the eve of Navratri, is expected to have significant economic implications.
