The Congress on Friday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi accusing him of misleading the country on vaccinations when only 21 per cent of the country’s population was fully vaccinated. The party also demanded to know when the vaccination  for children will start. It also asked the prime minister to bring out a white paper on how his government intends to vaccinate all adults by year-end, a promise made by him and his ministers earlier. “Please share a white paper on how we are going to receive 106 crore vaccines in the next 70 days to vaccinate our entire adult population,” Congress spokesperson Gourav Vallabh said. 

Congress spokesperson Gourav Vallabh also alleged that the PM, in his address to the nation on Friday, did not talk about issues of inflation and terrorism confronting the country. Instead of offering condolences to the families of 4.53 lakh people who lost their lives due to COVID-19, the PM is celebrating, he said.
