COVID-19 is a pandemic, humankind had never seen such a crisis in the last hundred years. This crisis changes its forms and creates trouble for the people, the entire country and world are fighting against it.
During the first lockdown, after a lot of discussions and with a little courage, it was decided that farmers in villages be kept exempt from lockdown. It was an important decision, as a result, our farmers had bumper productivity even during a pandemic
On Congress: It was said Congress helped in India's development while the BJP just planted a flag. This was not a joke. It was the result of the deep thinking which is dangerous for India. Some people think India was born in 1947. It is the result, people who got the chance to work in last 60 years, were also impacted by such mentality. This democracy is not because of your compassion. They should have said this proudly, Mother India is a mother of democracy.
On India's Covid vaccination drive: The people of India have taken the vaccine and they have done this not merely to protect themselves but also protect others. Such conduct, in the midst of so many global anti-vaccine movements is admirable.
