Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has launched a fresh attack against the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi over the Covid situations in the country and accused the Union Government of not taking the timely situations to tackle the virus spread.
The Wayanad MP said, not having a strategy to vaccinate the public is a big problem for India. Taking a dig at Narendra Modi, the Gandhi scion called him an event manager, who can think of one event at a time.
He addressed the media through video conferencing and lashed out at the centre for not having a strategy. Saying that we need a strategy, the former Congress chief said, delaying the vaccination could make the virus more dangerous.
Rahul Gandhi took a dig at External Affairs Minister Dr. S Jaishankar for following vaccine diplomacy, by supplying a major share of vaccines to other countries and not giving importance to vaccinating Indians.
The MP attributed the vaccine supply to foreign countries to the fewer vaccination numbers in the country and said, as a result, a mere three percent of the population in the country were vaccinated, while the remaining population is yet to be vaccinated.
Rahul Gandhi held Prime Minister Narendra Modi responsible for the deadly second wave of Covid in the country due to his untimely decisions. Going by the current pace of vaccination drive, it could take three years to vaccinate the entire population.
“I am saying that the second wave is Prime Ministers’ responsibility. The nautanki PM did, and not fulfilled his responsibility is the reason behind the second wave. If the vaccination keeps on going like this then the vaccination of the whole country will be complete by May 2024,” the Gandhi scion said.
