A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced free vaccines for all above 18 years of age, Congress leader and former Union Minister Jairam Ramesh alleged that the only concern of the government is for headlines and not deadlines.
Addressing a virtual press conference on Tuesday, Ramesh said: “The government is only concerned about the headline and not the deadline. To complete vaccination by December, 80 lakh vaccinations per day is required but the question is from where the vaccines will come in order to do that.”
He said it was a demand by the Congress for free and universal vaccination, and several letters have been written by the Opposition and Congress leaders to the government, particularly Prime Minister Modi.
