Prime Minister Narendra Modi should first get himself vaccinated for COVID-19 to clear doubts in the minds of people, Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA) leader Prakash Ambedkar said on Saturday.

Speaking to reporters, Ambedkar said the VBA will conduct protests across Maharashtra on January 27 in support of the ongoing agitation by farmers at Delhi's borders for the repeal of three new farm laws.

"The prime minister and CM [Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray] should take the COVID-19 vaccine first and clear all doubts in the minds of the people. Once they get the vaccine shot, I am also ready to get myself vaccinated," he told reporters.
