Kolkata: Addressing a poll rally here, the West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee accused the BJP-led government at the Centre of not responding to the state's plea to vaccinate a majority of people, which could have helped contain the spread of the disease. She said, the Covid situation is worsening in West Bengal due to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

 “I am sitting with money and in mid March I had written a letter to the PM seeking more stock of vaccination and also told him that I want to give free vaccines to everyone ahead of the polls. But my letter went unnoticed. They are bringing outsiders not just to spread violence during polls but also to spread the virus,” alleged Mamata.

Speaking on the Election Commission's decision to forbid her from campaigning for 24 hours, she said, "Is it a fault to ask Hindus, Muslims and others to vote together? What about Prime Minister Narendra Modi who is mocking me at every election meeting? Why is he not banned from campaigning?" she asked.
