He also advised that with great victories come greater responsibilities, directing MPs to remain active in their constituencies, stay connected with the people, and ensure central government schemes reach citizens effectively.
The Prime Minister further highlighted that the country is now moving forward in a full-fledged ‘Reform Express’ phase, with rapid, intentional reforms that are citizen-centric rather than purely economic or revenue-focused.
He emphasized the government’s commitment to removing everyday hurdles so that people can achieve their full potential, stressing initiatives such as doorstep service delivery, elimination of repeated paperwork, and reducing long, cumbersome forms.
Recalling the government’s decade-long trust in citizens through self-certification measures, PM Modi said this approach has worked successfully without misuse. He stressed that both “Ease of Life” and “Ease of Doing Business” remain top priorities of the Modi-led NDA government.
