Haryana's ML Khattar Says Arvind Kejriwal Gives Out Vaccines "Too Fast"
NDTV
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who has been red-flagging the shortage of vaccines in the national capital over the last few weeks, has been accused of indulging into politics by the BJP's ML Khattar, his Haryana counterpart. "My goal is to save lives, not vaccines," Mr Kejriwal tweeted today in a sharp response to ML Khattar.
खट्टर साहिब, वैक्सीन से ही लोगों की जान बचेगी। जितनी जल्दी वैक्सीन लगेंगी, उतने लोग सुरक्षित होंगे। मेरा मक़सद वैक्सीन बचाना नहीं, लोगों की जान बचाना है। pic.twitter.com/WnWGxyIJ7O
Mr Khattar in a televised briefing on Sunday was apparently referring to the Delhi government's decision about a week ago to pause vaccination for the 18-44 age group and temporarily shut vaccine centres.
"It was just drama when he said 'all vaccine centres will be shut from tomorrow because we are not getting doses'. I believe Delhi's share is much larger than other states."
"Like other states, should we also finish all 2 lakh doses in a day? We use 50,000-60,000 doses a day. All this... Arvind Kejriwal should see. But his intention is to indulge in politics and he does that. Nobody should play politics during a pandemic," the BJP leader further said, suggesting that Delhi was giving out vaccines "too fast".
