New Delhi: Congress Member of parliament Rahul Gandhi on today (October 27) attacked the Central government days after India administered over 100 crore COVID-19 vaccination doses and criticized saying ‘jumla-version’ will not save lives.
Sharing Congress chief Sonia Gandhi’s piece of writing on the vaccine milestone and citing a graph on the number of people yet to be vaccinated even with at least one dose, Rahul Gandhi tweeted, “Jumla-version of the vaccine story won’t save lives. Actual vaccination will.” The Congress also shared on social media Sonia Gandhi's article and quoted her, ''The PM likes to emphasize that vaccines are free, while conveniently forgetting that they have always been free. It is the BJP government that moved away from India's universal free vaccination policy.''
