‘Decisive, meaningful’: BJP hails passage of Jan Vishwas Bill

New Delhi: The BJP on Friday hailed the passage of the Jan Vishwas Bill, 2026, in Parliament, describing it as a “decisive”, “meaningful” and a “giant step” towards enhancing ease of living and ease of doing business in India.

Parliament on Thursday passed the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Bill, 2026, to amend 784 provisions in 79 central laws for decriminalising and rationalising minor offences to further improve the business environment and check harassment of people.

In a post on X late Thursday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said, “The passage of the Jan Vishwas Bill 2026 in Parliament is India’s giant step towards accelerating ease of living and ease of business.”

“Cutting down on several legal provisions makes Modi Ji’s vision of New India a grand reality by making life easier and business simpler for all,” he added.

BJP national president Nitin Nabin said the passage of the Jan Vishwas Bill, 2026, marks an important step towards improving ease of living and ease of doing business in the country, with a clear focus on reform and simplification.

“By removing outdated legal provisions and reducing compliance burden, it reflects a governance model rooted in trust and efficiency. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji, this initiative strengthens the vision of a New India where citizens are empowered, businesses are encouraged and systems are simpler, faster and more effective,” Nabin said in a post on X.
