The ruling Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) allies Congress and Nationalist Congress Party on Saturday slammed the BJP at the Centre questioning its decision to permit exports of Covid-19 vaccines when people in the country were dying.

"What was the need to export vaccines to other countries. Even to India's rivals like Pakistan? It seems the government has left our people to die. Cities and villages all over the country are reduced to cremation grounds," Maharshtra Congress president Nana Patole said.
