New Delhi: Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Saturday trained guns on the Centre yet again over its vaccination policy, saying "mind the gap".
Gandhi tweeted, "Mind the gap," with the hashtag #Wherearevaccines. The Congress leaders also used a graph showing the target cumulative vaccine rate to avoid third wave against the actual cumulative vaccine rate.
On Friday, Gandhi had taken to the micro-blogging platform to ask, "July has arrived. Where are the vaccines?". This tweet drew sharp reactions from the BJP. Hitting back, Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan noted that he had on Thursday put out facts on vaccine availability for this month, and said there is no vaccine for the 'virus of ignorance'. 'Just yesterday, I put out facts on vaccine availability for the month of July. What is Rahul Gandhi ji's problem? Does he not read? Does he not understand? There is no vaccine for the virus of arrogance and ignorance!! INC India must think of a leadership overhaul!' the senior BJP leader tweeted.
India was hit severely by a brutal second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in April and May, claiming a massive number of lives daily, with a shortage in oxygen supply at various hospitals adding to the woes. However, the number of cases have shown a downward trend and the positivity rate has been shrinking in the last several days.
