In the last one week, three BJP leaders from Bengaluru, including Deputy Chief Minister C.N. Ashwath Narayan, have drawn the ire of citizens and the Opposition over allegations of “undue preference” and “diversion” of COVID-19 vaccines for certain sections of society including party workers and caste-based groups. One vaccination drive that came under criticism was held in Malleswaram by Mr. Narayan who is the MLA of the constituency. Photos of priests, who are not on the list of priority groups, being given shots elicited allegations of “caste based vaccine camps” by Congress leader B. K. Hariprasad and Twitterati alike. The Opposition Congress is running a “BJP vaccine scam” campaign on Twitter even as it launched a scathing attack on the Union government’s vaccine policy on Wednesday.More Related News
