NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said the low-cost regional air connectivity scheme launched yesterday by him will benefit many small towns while catering to the middle class and the neo-middle class.
“Yes, this scheme is aimed at catering to the aspirations of the middle class and the neo-middle class,” he tweeted.
He was responding to a tweet by a follower who said the UDAN scheme was a remarkable step which can benefit especially the medium class families.
“UDAN is going to benefit so many small towns. It will make the aviation sector even more accessible,” the Prime Minister said in response to a tweet by another follower who wrote, “A big relief for tier two cities.” (AGENCIES)
