New Delhi: Every cabinet note related to a Bill now comes with a global standards report so that the legislation can be aligned to the best practices worldwide, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has told NDTV in an exclusive interview.
Speaking to NDTV's editor-in-chief Sanjay Pugalia, the Prime Minister said, "These days, a tradition has started in my cabinet. Whenever a Bill to be introduced in Parliament comes before the cabinet, a global standards note comes with it. This note mentions which country is performing the best in that particular field, what are the rules there and how we can achieve that. So, we have to match every cabinet note with global standards."
"It has become a habit for the bureaucracy now. Just saying our (plan) is the best in the world is not enough. Say who is doing the best in world and where we are and how we can get there," the Prime Minister said.
The Prime Minister also expressed confidence that the BJP is set to score a record win in the ongoing general election, four phases of which are over. Everyone, he said, knows that the scales are tilted in favour of the BJP and the NDA alliance.
The Prime Minister mentioned a 'four-S' mantra for the country. "The scope should be very big, it shouldn't be in parts. The second thing is scale, which should also be large. The speed should be in sync with these two. So, scope, scale and speed, and then there should be skill. If we can get these four things together, I believe we can achieve a lot," the Prime Minister said.
The Prime Minister is eyeing a third term, and the BJP has set a target of winning 370 seats on its own and taking the NDA tally past the 400 mark. Three phases of the general election are left, which the fifth phase due tomorrow. Counting of votes will be held on June 4.
Tune in at 8 pm today to watch the interview, which will be aired across the NDTV network.
