Centre too is playing a key role in healthcare, says Minister
Union Minister of State for Home G. Kishan Reddy said that while the Centre has been making all out efforts to ensure everybody gets vaccinated by the year-end, the States too should get involved since “health is a State subject.” Talking to the media after visiting the Chest Hospital on Monday, the Minister urged State governments and the Opposition parties to desist from criticising the Centre, and instead join hands to combat the pandemic unitedly. “There is malicious propaganda against the Modi government and people are being misled with false allegations about the vaccination programme. Those who criticised the indigenously made vaccines are now clamouring for them. The Centre has a clear plan to vaccinate 136 crore population with 250 crore vaccine supplies,” he said.
