India on 'Reform Express' drive, Modi tells BJP MPs

He said rules and regulations should exist only “for people’s convenience,” not to make their lives harder.

According to a senior NDA source, the Prime Minister told MPs that the government has now entered a full-fledged “Reform Express” phase, where reforms are moving rapidly and with clear intent. He stressed that all reforms under the NDA government are “entirely citizen-centric and not merely economic or revenue-driven,” with the goal of removing everyday obstacles so people can reach their full potential.
