On Centre's Covid Vaccine Strategy, Rahul Gandhi's Demonetisation Jab
NDTV
The Centre has announced the widening of the Covid vaccination drive from May 1 and it is open for anyone over the age of 18.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who is in home isolation after testing positive for coronavirus, took a swipe at the Centre's vaccination strategy today by comparing it to the demonetisation exercise announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi five years ago. केंद्र सरकार की वैक्सीन रणनीति नोटबंदी से कम नहीं-* आम जन लाइनों में लगेंगे* धन, स्वास्थ्य व जान का नुक़सान झेलेंगे* और अंत में सिर्फ़ कुछ उद्योगपतियों का फ़ायदा होगा। "Central government's vaccine strategy is nothing short of demonetisation. People will again be seen queuing up. Will suffer loss of money, health and life. And in the end only a few industrialists will benefit," the 50-year-old Congress MP tweeted this morning in Hindi. During demonetisation, when high-value currency notes were suddenly banned in 2016, hassled people scrambled to withdraw new bank notes and exchange the now banned 500 and 1000 rupee notes. Long serpentine queues were seen outside ATMs and banks.More Related News
