Union minister Kiren Rijiju said Modi reflected on the NDA’s 25-year journey at the group’s parliamentary party meeting on Tuesday. He said Modi spoke about how the NDA, as an organic body, should move forward and lead the country’s journey.”

Modi said no one can get away with making irresponsible comments about the security of the country, referring to Rahul Gandhi’s comments about the country’s territorial integrity. “He spoke about Gandhi’s wrong statements about the territorial issues and security of the country,” Rijiju said.

He responded to Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s comments about the judiciary and said the Congress has challenged it earlier as well. “We, on the other hand, go by the Constitution and respect it. They think the family is above the Constitution.”
