Why has KCR not taken vaccine: Bandi

Hyderabad: BJP state chief Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Wednesday sought to know why chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao and TRS leaders have not taken Covid-19 vaccine.

Addressing a press conference, he said, “Vaccination plays a major role in controlling Covid- 19 spread and TRS regime is not sincere about it. First, the CM and other leaders should tell if they got vaccine dose or not.”

Sanjay alleged that TRS ministers were trying to sling mud on the Union government when the vaccine was being given by the Centre. “Oxygen was sent by tankers from Centre, but state is showing off,” he said.

Alleging that the chief minister was responsible for the virus spread in the state, he said, “As KCR said the intensity of Covid-19 is less in the state, people have taken it easy, leading to the second wave. Though BJP did not want municipal polls, TRS went ahead.”

He also said all Covid-19 cases could be attributed to negligence of the government. “Prime Minister Narendra Modi is trying to sensitise the nation on the pandemic and support the state, but the TRS government is not bothered about it. Chief minister KCR has not conducted a single review on the issue,” he added.

He also said that data of the state government on Covid-19 deaths and cases might not be correct.
