From inducing an enormous gathering of the farmers in Punjab, to poorly coping with the disaster within the state the place it’s within the authorities, the Congress social gathering has proved itself completely clueless within the struggle towards the pandemic. Now, Jharkhand, Rajasthan, Punjab, and Chhattisgarh – the states led by Congress and its allies have stated that they’d not be capable to vaccinate the folks above the age of 18 and blamed all of it on the Centre. It should be famous that even earlier than the second wave of the virus began within the nation, Congress-ruled states like Punjab, Maharashtra, and Chhattisgarh had been registering a lot of the instances.

The prime minister is politicising everything and we have to fight a dual battle of saving people from coronavirus and fighting politics,” he stated.“The Centre has hijacked their production capacity (manufacturers’) and struck a deal for Rs 150 per dose. The government that talks of one constitution, one tax, are now trying to derive benefits out of pandemic by different pricing of vaccines,” he added.Similarly, the Health Minister of Rajasthan additionally blamed the Union authorities for every thing. The scenario appears totally much like the federal government of Maharashtra, which is taking part in the blame recreation ever over the rising instances of coronavirus, as a substitute of getting its act collectively.
