9 years of BJP govt: Everyone can make promises but Modi govt's 'strong point' is delivery says Jaishankar

-

The distinguishing factor of the Modi government is its ability to not just make promises but to actually deliver services and projects within the specified timeframe, according to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar.

He was speaking during a function held at Badarpur here as part of the BJP’s mega outreach campaign — ‘Sampark se Samarthan’ — to mark the completion of the nine years of the Narendra Modi government.

“After elections, they forget (their promises made to people), but in Modi ‘sarkar’, people today are seeing the delivery (of services and projects),” the Union minister told reporters after attending the function at the site of an Eco Park being developed at NTPC’s Thermal Power Plant area in Badarpur.

The Eco Park project is currently underway, and South Delhi MP and BJP leader Ramesh Bidhuri said the park is planned to be inaugurated in December.

Jainshankar praised the NTPC for the project and the party MP and other local leaders for working on such a green project.

“This Eco Park will become a new lung of Delhi. I congratulate all who are part of this project, and it will not only help in mitigating pollution but enhance the ease of living of people and ease of doing business too by promoting economic activities around it.

Modi ‘sarkar’ doesn’t just offer promises. It completes what work it starts in a given timeframe, and delivers it, shows it to people,” he said.

Later interacting with the media, the Union minister said, the “strong point” of the Modi government is “delivery”, as everyone can make promises. “For Modi government, ‘vikas’ is the first commitment, so it’s a ‘teerth’ (pilgrimage) of commitments,” Jaishanker said.

The BJP has organised a “Vikas Teerth Yatra”, which began from Eco Park at Badarpur, and Jaishankar and several senior BJP leaders were part of it. People in Badarpur will also see “which government delivers and which government only promises,” the minister said, without naming anyone.

As an External Affairs Minister, “I can tell you that I visit countries across the world, see many cities and capitals,” he told reporters.

He said he wanted the best practices in the world to come to India. It is also Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision “as whenever he sees abroad a process, say of cleaning a river or building a station or adoption of a new technology, he wishes to bring those best practices to India too,” Jaishankar said.

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-

After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu
