It seems for some of our politicians, taking credit for work done is important, even in the midst of a pandemic. On Thursday, BJP corporator Sakshi Dalvi inaugurated a vaccination centre in Bhandup three hours before the official inauguration, by Mayor Kishori Pednekar of the Shiv Sena. Dalvi claimed that it was she who had written several letters to the BMC to start a vaccination centre there, and added that the administration should have informed her that the Mayor would inaugurate it.
The Savitribai Maternity Home at Bhandup west started vaccinations from Thursday. 

Sources close to the Mayor revealed that the first jab was done in her presence. A Sena leader said, “The BJP corporator inaugurated the centre at 8.00 am and at that time the vaccine doses were not available. The official inauguration was done by the Mayor.”
