Kolkata: A day after Mamata Banerjee announced free COVID-19 vaccine for every citizen in West Bengal, BJP’s IT-Cell chief Amit Malviya accused the former of “rushing to take credit” for Centre’s effort.
The West Bengal Chief Minister’s announcement came on the same day the central government declared that the vaccination drive in the country would begin on January 16.
Banerjee made the declaration in an open letter to to the healthcare workers and police officials in the state.
Malviya on Sunday tweeted, “Pishi was a disaster when it came to managing Covid. From doctors to policemen, everyone protested against Chief Minister’s apathy.”
He added, “But now that the center has announced free priority vaccination for 3 crore frontline workers across the country, Pishi is rushing to take credit.”
However, it was not clear from BJP’s Information & Technology department’s National in-charge’s tweet if the central government would provide free vaccines to all the citizens of the country as the Union Health Ministry has not made such claims yet.
