PM assures vaccination for all, says India on its way to economic recovery

PM Modi spoke on a range of issues and called the latest labour reforms as very pro-worker

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday assured that everyone will be vaccinated and no one will be left behind. The statements came in an interview with The Economic Times, days after the BJP promised free vaccination in its poll manifesto in Bihar. “First and foremost, I would like to assure the nation that, as and when a vaccine becomes available, everyone will be vaccinated. None will be left behind, Modi said.

Talking about the economy he said that India is on its way to economic recovery as farmers have broken all records of production along with record-high FDI inflows followed by auto and tractor sales that are either reaching or surpassing previous year levels. “We will take all measures needed to constantly stimulate the economy in a timely manner while ensuring overall macro-economic stability,” Modi said adding “we are still not over with the pandemic. Yet, our economy has shown a remarkable capability to bounce back.” The prime minister spoke on a range of issues including the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic and how it has taken a toll on daily lives.
