Along with this, he has also appealed to the people to follow the Corona Protocol and stay safe. Prior to Rahul Gandhi, many veteran Congress leaders have been hit by the Corona transition. 

Earlier Rahul Gandhi criticized the central government’s vaccine policy, saying that it is full of discrimination and there is no guarantee of vaccine for the weaker sections of the society.

He also said that according to the new vaccine policy of the government, people between the age of 18 years and 45 years are not going to get the vaccine for free.

He said in a tweet, “People between 18 and 45 years old will not get the vaccine for free. Without taking measures to control prices, the middleman has been given space. There is no guarantee of vaccine for the weaker sections. Government of India to provide the vaccine Is discriminating. There is no strategy on its distribution either.”

The Government of India announced on Monday that the third phase of the covid Vaccination Program is starting from May 1, in which all people above 18 years of age will get the vaccine.

With this, private hospitals and state governments have been approved to make direct purchases from vaccine-making companies.
