Delhi’s Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government at the Center on Thursday, accusing ruling party members of failing to address the real issue. Sisodia said BJP leaders were busy criticizing Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
“People want the Covid-19 vaccine, not Kejriwal’s critics. BJP leaders always criticize Kejriwal when asked about the vaccine. Should they let people know why they sent vaccines overseas? Our children were dying here, ”Sisodia said at a press conference.

Party leader Aam Aadmi (AAP) also said vaccination centers of many state governments were closing, while private hospitals were receiving Covid-19 vaccines. “What happened to the 36,000 crore allocated for Covid-19 vaccines?” He asked.
The AAP accused the Center of a “vaccination scam”. “The Delhi government wants to vaccinate all its young people for free. If there are no vaccines for this, how are vaccines available in private hospitals,” Sisodia asked.
