The PWD Minister also took a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) when he said:

"FIRs are registered against people when they write letters to the Prime Minister. I will never be able to forgive Modi for that. All the law enforcement agencies are in his pocket now, be it the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) or the Enforcement Directorate (ED)," he said.

Responding to questions about the truck association strike in the state, Singh said that some of their demands are reasonable and that he will discuss it with the Chief Minister. "I had held a meeting with Chief Minister Kamal Nath in the matter. Another meeting is scheduled in the matter. Some of the truckers' demands are reasonable," he said.
