Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has been a harsh critic of the central government’s vaccination policy for months. He has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on numerous counts, to finish the ‘shortage’ of vaccine doses within the country.
At least two Union ministers hit back at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday on the difficulty of alleged coronavirus disease (Covid-19) vaccine shortage in India. Union health minister Dr. Harsh Vardhan asked why the Congress leader keeps repeatedly raising accusations of vaccine shortage, especially when the govt has publicly released facts on vaccine availability for the month of July. On the opposite hand, Union minister Piyush Goyal clarified that 120 milliOn vaccine doses are going to be made available in July, of which states have already been informed beforehand .
Questioning the govt on vaccine availability, Rahul Gandhi had said earlier today , “It’s July already, yet there are not any vaccines.” The Congress leader asked, “Where are vaccines?”

Responding to Gandhi’s question, Union health minister Dr. Harsh Vardhan, in turn, asked, “What is Rahul Gandhi’s problem? Does he not read? Does he not understand?” The minister added that he had each day ago put out “facts” regarding vaccine availability for the month of July. “There is not any vaccine for the virus of arrogance and ignorance,” he remarked, adding that Congress must believe a “leadership overhaul”.
Just yesterday, I put out facts on vaccine availability for the month of July.
