In a letter written to PM Modi, CM Naranasamy has asserted that political party leaders, ministers, and legislators should be allowed to get vaccinated in the first phase, saying that it would set an example so that the people can have confidence.
For the vaccination to begin, the first round of vaccine shipments was transported from the Serum Institute of India (SII)'s facility in Maharashtra's Pune to 13 locations across the nation yesterday (12 January).
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
