Recalling the old days of Gujarat, especially Ahmedabad, Shah said in those years law and order was out of control, the state used to be under curfew for 200 days of the 365 days, but since the BJP has come to power, curfews have become a thing of the past. The party has freed the state from anti-social elements.
