But Congress is so far removed from the national interest because it is so engrossed in the welfare of their family that it does not like the achievements of the country… They have become ashamed of every achievement achieved by us. ..”
- “The BJP government has removed colonial laws from the criminal justice system. Now in our 'Nyay Sanhita' we have prioritized justice for our citizens over punishment. Laws regarding terrorism have been tightened and laws regarding atrocities against others have been abolished. Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam has new provisions for electronic evidence. After it is implemented on July 1, it will help every citizen of the country.”
