Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday met Bengal -based industrialists in the midst of the ongoing assembly elections in the state and assured full cooperation to industry to meet challenges emanating from the second wave of Covid-19.
She asked industry to have confidence in the Modi government but did not make any specific commitment to allay apprehensions raised by different sectors.
“Year 2019 was about liquidity, 2020 was about Covid. 2021 shall not be about Covid in spite of the second wave. Look at the various steps the government has taken. Revival was happening and it will continue to happen,” said Sitharaman during a session organised by MCCI.
