Akhilesh Yadav takes a u-turn on coronavirus vaccine

2 min read

A day after Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav introduced that he won’t get inoculated, claiming the vaccine to be BJP’s, he now appears to be having second ideas.
कोरोना का टीकाकरण एक संवेदनशील प्रक्रिया है इसीलिए भाजपा सरकार इसे कोई सजावटी-दिखावटी इवेंट न समझे और अग्रिम पुख़्ता इंतज़ामों के बाद ही शुरू करे. ये लोगों के जीवन का विषय है अत: इसमें बाद में सुधार का ख़तरा नहीं उठाया जा सकता है. गरीबों के टीकाकरण की निश्चित तारीख़ घोषित हो.— Akhilesh Yadav (@yadavakhilesh) January 3, 2021
In a tweet on Sunday, he mentioned, “Vaccination against coronavirus is a sensitive process. As such, the BJP must refrain from making it a show-off event and conduct the programme only after necessary arrangements for the same are done. This will affect the lives of people. So, we cannot risk their lives by making improvements to the vaccine later. The government must also declare a fixed date for the immunisation of poor people.”
U-turn of Akhilesh Yadav
While Akhilesh Yadav has not made any remark about his earlier determination to snub the vaccination programme, his tweet on Sunday marked a departure from his earlier feedback. Yesterday, he tried to create panic within the society by stating that he would get vaccinated when his authorities will probably be fashioned after the subsequent election and claimed that he would give free vaccines to all.
“I am not going to get vaccinated for now. How can I trust BJP’s vaccine, when our government will be formed everyone will get free vaccine. We cannot take BJP’s vaccine,” Akhilesh Yadav mentioned on Saturday. However, on Sunday, he appealed to the identical BJP authorities to go forward with the vaccination programme but in addition requested to launch a hard and fast date for vaccinating the poor.
At at time when the political events must be united and dispel rumours concerning the misinformation about vaccines forward of the drive, it’s moderately surprising that Samajwadi Party chief has indulged in low-level politics by discrediting a vaccine that has been duly developed and examined sufficient.
DCGI approves Bharat Biotech vaccine, PM Modi expresses gratitude
Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) authorized the manufacture of Coronavirus vaccine by Serum Institute of India(SII) and Indian firm Bharat Biotech on Sunday. PM Modi tweeted that the brand new transfer would speed up the ‘road to a healthier and Covid-19 free nation’. “A decisive turning point to strengthen a spirited fight,” he emphasised.
While thanking the scientific neighborhood, PM Modi additional knowledgeable, “It would make every Indian proud that the two vaccines that have been given emergency use approval are made in India! This shows the eagerness of our scientific community to fulfil the dream of an Aatmanirbhar Bharat, at the root of which is care and compassion.”
