BJP strengthened Gujarat’s law and order, helped shed State’s ‘curfew capital’ tag, says Amit Shah
The Hindu
Amit shah said that laws like GUJCTOC and Gujarat Goonda and Anti-social Activities (Prevention) Act also worked in strengthening the State police force.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday 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.
