AAP attacks BJP over vaccine exports

Delhi: AAP criticized BJP ruled central government for exporting 64.5 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines to 84 countries, even as several states across the country claimed they were short of jabs. Addressing a press conference, senior AAP leader and national spokesperson Raghav Chadha said, “As many as 109 vaccination centers in Pune were shut down due to deficiency of doses. In Mumbai, 26 vaccination centers were locked. In Odisha, more than 700 such centers were shut down. The amount of Covid vaccine doses exported or gifted to other countries by India is more than the number of people inoculated in our own nation.” Chadha said at a time when Covid-19 cases are on a steep rise, the Centre’s focus should be to get everyone inoculated. For this, Arvind Kejriwal has appealed to the Centre to open vaccination for all adult citizens.
