"Be Grateful For PM Modi's Leadership...": Devendra Fadnavis To Opposition

Attacking the Congress and other opposition parties and their chief ministers, Devendra Fadnavis said first they raised questions on coronavirus vaccine and its efficacy and now seeking the jabs to inoculate the public.

Senior BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis on Friday said the chief ministers of opposition-ruled states should be grateful to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his able leadership during the pandemic as unlike them, he led the country from the front and did not pass the buck. Attacking the Congress and other opposition parties and their chief ministers, Mr Fadnavis said first they raised questions on coronavirus vaccine and its efficacy and now seeking the jabs to inoculate the public. "It was the Centre and Prime Minister Modi who from the very first day kept urging people to get vaccinated unlike the chief ministers of opposition states and their leaders who resort to cheap politics during this pandemic by raising doubts over vaccines. And now the same set of people are asking for more vaccines," he said. Underlining that health is a state subject under the Constitution, the former Maharashtra chief minister said it is unfortunate that during the pandemic the chief ministers of opposition-ruled states shun their responsibility and passed the buck to the Centre.
