NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Friday that he was committed to meeting this year's budget deficit target, and he welcomed a cut in interest rates by the Reserve Bank of India on the back of falling inflation.
In a speech, Modi also said his government would cut wasteful spending, streamline the payment of welfare benefits and raise investment in roads and railways to boost economic growth.
