What happened (reported theme, not a new policy event)

The Indian Express column uses the framing “poor days for PM” to question political and administrative handling of governance under the Prime Minister of India. The provided excerpt does not supply legible, testable details about any specific new policy rollout, law, budget allocation, or administrative reform.

Background and earlier position (how to place such commentary in UPSC analysis)

UPSC preparation should convert column-style governance criticism into an evidence-based evaluation checklist. When a column criticises Prime Minister governance, an answer should assess constitutional governance responsibilities and administrative accountability through measurable and verifiable indicators.

What changed now

The supplied input shows the publication of a new Indian Express commentary titled “POOR DAYS FOR PM?” that argues, through its framing and critique, that Prime Minister governance is under strain from political and administrative constraints. The excerpt does not provide verifiable particulars of institutional reforms or new legal or administrative actions.
