Synopsis:
Arvind Government’s delayed response to inviting global tenders for Covid vaccine supply to cost Delhiites dear. Delhi Congress President, Ch. Anil Kumar said that now that Delhi has been caught on the wrong foot, CM Arvind was blaming the Centre for the vaccine shortage, though the Arvind Government should have realised that the Modi Government’s top priority was not the people of the country, least of all Delhi, but export the vaccine to nearly 93 countries where the infection rate was far lesser than India, and they were rich enough to buy the vaccine on their own and did not need India’s largesse.

Ch. Anil Kumar said that the Arvind Government rushed into the vaccination drive for those in the 18-44 age group without ensuring an uninterrupted supply of the vaccine. He said that as a result, the Delhi Government can neither provide the second dose for those who took the first shot over two months ago, and they should have got their second jab within 4-6 weeks, but due to vaccine shortage, the second jab has been delayed indefinitely, forcing people to go through the process yet again, which will put additional stress on the availability of the vaccine, nor it carry on with the vaccination drive for the younger group.

Ch. Anil Kumar said that Arvind Kejriwal’s Government at the time Covid crisis was not at all serious in vaccine procurement. He said Now that the vaccine shortage is forcing the Delhi Government to shut down nearly 125 vaccination centres administering the vaccine in Delhi, the Government has been forced to go for global tenders for the vaccine.

Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee President Ch. Anil Kumar said that the delayed reaction by the Arvind Government to float global tenders to buy Covid vaccines directly from the international market as the two Indian companies involved in the production of vaccine will not be able to meet the vaccine demand of Delhi any time soon, will cost Delhiites very dearly.
