He says Delhi govt. asked for 1.34 crore vials from companies
Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Monday said that the Delhi government had sought 1.34 crore doses of vaccine from companies for people in the 18-44 age group, but the Central government allowed only 3.5 lakh doses in May. The Minister said that the BJP government was engaging in the politics of “lies and deception”. He also shared letters by the government to the companies and attacked the Central government for selling vaccines to other countries. In a letter written to Bharat Biotech on April 26, the Delhi government said they are “planning to procure 67 lakh doses of Covaxin and in another letter to Serum Institute of India, they asked for 67 lakh doses of Covishield. “For this purpose, the terms and conditions of delivery and payment along with the schedule of supplies, spread over three months, may please be intimated,” both letters said.
