Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday praised Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for the significant decline in encephalitis deaths in Uttar Pradesh, saying he remained unfazed by the criticism from "vested interests" and continued with his efforts to combat the disease.
"I congratulate the government of Yogi Adityanath, which is working seriously on the front of cleanliness and health. There was not a single session of Parliament when Yogiji, as a Lok Sabha MP, did not raise the tragic issue of encephalitis deaths," the prime minister said here.
He was speaking at the launch of the National Animal Disease Control Programme (NADCP).
