On growth and inflation, the RBI Governor said tackling inflation is the priority of the top bank. At the same time, we will try to ensure it does not affect growth much, he said.  

Shaktikanta Das said as far as India's growth is concerned, I am very confident.

He said we are performing well on the agriculture sector front, while India's position on forex reserve is also strong.
