Amit Shah congratulated the state government for making "radical changes" in the law and order situation by adopting several new measures.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah today credited the BJP government in Gujarat, right from the time when Narendra Modi was its Chief Minister, for strengthening the law and order situation and helping the state shed its "curfew capital" tag and gain the identity of being a safe and secure state.
Addressing a gathering virtually after inaugurating six newly-constructed police stations and an office of Deputy Superintendent of Police in rural Ahmedabad, he said that thanks to the improved law and order situation, Gujarat has become a leading state in terms of industrial development.
"There was a time when Gujarat was known as the curfew capital. Now, when you ask a 20-year-old whether he has experienced a curfew, he will certainly answer in the negative. Under the leadership of (Narendra) Modi, Anandiben (Patel), Vijaybhai (Rupani) - and now with Bhupendrabhai (Patel) taking over - the BJP government worked to strengthen the law and order situation. The state no longer experiences communal riots during Rath Yatras, and people experience peace," Mr Shah said.
"We have been doing very well in terms of law and order situation, and because of this, Gujarat has become prominent in industrial development," he added.
