Nation fighting COVID-19 without vaccines, medicines: Congress leader.
The Maharashtra Congress on Wednesday demanded a national policy for the COVID-19 vaccination program, as the State faced an acute shortage of vaccines and lakhs of individuals were awaiting their second shot. “This is not the first time that India is faced with a pandemic or an epidemic. For many years, the nation has successfully fought diseases like polio and has run widely-acclaimed vaccination programs. But the intent and courage shown by the previous governments are lacking in this Central government led by Narendra Modi,” State Congress president Nana Patole said during a press conference on Wednesday. Mr. Patole said the nation was fighting COVID-19 without vaccines, medicines, oxygen and using sub-standard equipment provided under PM-CARES. “The mishandling of this situation has spread the message that the Modi government cannot handle this pandemic,” he said.
