BJP leader Pravin Darekar on Wednesday blamed the Maharashtra government for "not placing orders in time" after the state said it can not start COVID-19 inoculation for those above 18 from May 1 for want of doses.

The Shiv Sena-led government earlier in the day announced free vaccination for those in the 18 to 44 years age group. "The onus of placing orders for COVID-19 vaccines is on the state government," said Darekar, Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Council.
