Kolkata, October 24, 2021 (PPI-OT):Senior Congress leader Adhir Chowdhury on Saturday alleged that the BJP government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is trying to “confuse” the people of the country with its campaign on COVID-19 vaccination figures. The Congress leader in Lok Sabha claimed that Modi’s campaign on administration of 100 crore vaccine doses was projected in a way that made it look like 100 crore people have been inoculated.
“On completion of 100 crore vaccine doses, 100 places were lit up. And the Prime Minister is trying to send across the message that 100 crore people have been fully vaccinated. This is not the fact,” he said in a video posted on Facebook.
Chowdhury, who is also the West Bengal Congress chief, noted that India’s population stands at 139 crore, of which 106 crore are adults. He further pointed out that the government has said that 29 crore people have received double doses, which is just 21 per cent of the entire population. “Only this 21 per cent is in the safe zone. Also, booster doses are not being given in the country as yet,” the Congress MP from Berhampore stated.
