Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Thursday took a two-for-one swipe at the government - over the "worrying" Covid situation and slow pace of vaccinations and the National Monetisation Pipeline announced earlier this week by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. Rising #COVID numbers are worrying. Vaccination must pick up pace to avoid serious outcomes in the next wave.Please take care of yourselves because GOI is busy with sales. "Rising Covid numbers are worrying. Vaccination must pick up pace to avoid serious outcomes in the next wave. Please take care of yourselves because GOI (Government of India) is busy with sales," Mr Gandhi tweeted. Mr Gandhi has been critical of several aspects of the government's handling of the pandemic, including a national vaccination drive hampered by a lack of doses, questions over vaccine pricing and the impact of COVID-19 on the economy, particularly on economically weaker sections.
