The Congress-led Opposition has been criticising the government over its handling of the pandemic and the vaccination drive
Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi on April 17 over the government’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, describing him as the “pilot who had his photo plastered on boarding passes only to press the eject button during an emergency”. The Congress-led Opposition has been criticising the government over its handling of the pandemic and the vaccination drive, while the Centre has maintained that its timely steps have been instrumental in fighting COVID-19. “Shocking that while COVID ravages India, from being a vaccine exporter, it has been compelled to become a vaccine importer undoing 70 years of government effort,” Ms. Vadra tweeted.
