Covid vaccine | 'Personal vasooli...': Govt on states seeking age limit removal
Union health minister Harsh Vardhan hit out at state governments seeking widening of the Covid-19 vaccine net amid a surge in infections.
He accused governments of states like Maharashtra and Delhi of playing politics, instead of administering vaccines comprehensively among people currently eligible.
He also dismissed claims of vaccine shortage by Mumbai Mayor Kishori Pednekar.
Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray had recently written to PM Narendra Modi seeking expansion of vaccine net to include those aged 25 and above in order to cover the 'young, working' population.
Veteran BJP leader and Chandini Chowk MP, Dr. Harsh Vardhan, has announced his departure from active politics following alleged denial of a ticket for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. His decision came in response to the Delhi BJP's declaration of candidates for five constituencies, including Praveen Khandelwal in Chandni Chowk, on Saturday. Dr. Vardhan, with a distinguished political career spanning five-time MLA and two-time MP from the constituency, has previously served as Union Minister of Health and Union Environment Minister. In his announcement, he hinted at a return to his profession as an ENT surgeon and expressed intent to resume duties at his clinic in East Delhi's Krishna Nagar
