New Delhi, May 24 (PTI) Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday said that even though vaccination is the key to controlling the pandemic the government does not seem to care as he claimed reduction in daily inoculation in the country.
He shared a graph showing the decline in the number of vaccine doses administered during April and May (till 20th) and pointed out that the average number of vaccination per day has fallen below the daily production.
"Vaccination is the key to controlling the pandemic but GOI doesn't seem to care," he said on Twitter while sharing a graph.
