PM's Photo On Vaccine Certificate, But Responsibility Left To States: Priyanka Gandhi Vadra

COVID-19 Vaccine India: Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra alleged that "The bitter truth is that from the beginning of the pandemic, vaccines in India became a tool for the Prime Minister's personal publicity rather than a tool to save the lives of the common people."

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday held the Centre responsible for the vaccine crisis in the country and alleged that vaccines were a means for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "personal publicity" rather than a tool to save people's lives. This was so from the beginning of the pandemic, the Congress general secretary said in posts on Twitter and Facebook. "The central government is responsible for creating a vaccine crisis in the country when experts have repeatedly highlighted the importance of vaccination," she said in a statement later in the day. "Today, the states are forced to take out a global tender for vaccines and they have been left disappointed by the companies, but the central government is not acting at all," she said.
