“They [the parties] are already under pressure. If you are journalists, can you speak against the nation? The commoners besides these three dynasties have to follow the law of the land,” Dr Jitendra Singh said.”These parties have one or two leaders. The common man is wary of experiments which were carried out in the last 30-40 years. CBI and NIA are independent bodies. They [the parties] are guided by the mindset of the UPA. The Modi government does not believe in that,” the minister said.
