Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said the BJP government at the Centre had a temperament for reform and that a strong government did not control everything or everyone.
Speaking at the 42nd convocation of Anna University in Chennai, the Prime Minister said there was a notion earlier that a strong government meant it should control everything and everyone.
“But we have changed this. A strong government does not control everything or everyone. It controls the system’s impulse to interfere. A strong government is not restrictive but is responsive. A strong government does not move into every domain. It limits itself and makes space for people’s talents. A strong government’s strength lies in its humility to accept that it cannot know or do everything,” the Prime Minister said.
