Lok Sabha MP from Andhra Pradesh's Kurnool, Dr Sanjeev Kumar Singari, on Wednesday asked the government not to waste Rs 35,000 crore on the Covid vaccination drive in the country.

Even as the World Health Organisation urges countries to increase Covid vaccination coverage in order to beat the scourge of the pandemic, a Lok Sabha MP said in Parliament that the government should not waste Rs 35,000 crore on the inoculation drive. YSRCP Lok Sabha MP Sanjeev Kumar Singari asked the government not to waste Rs 35,000 crore on the Covid vaccination drive and instead use the money in improving the health infrastructure in the country. The Kurnool MP, who is a doctor by profession, said that the vaccination drive is a "waste of money" as it is not possible to vaccinate every single person.
