धन्य हैं, खट्टर जी! #Vaccine लगाने में जानबुझ कर देरी करने को भी रणनीति करार दे रहे हैं।
कहते हैं सरकार के पास वैक्सीन हैं, पर उन्हें थोड़ी-थोड़ी संख्या में कई दिन में लोगों को लगाएँ।
इसी कारण ही हरियाणा के लोगों को वैक्सीन नही मिल पा रहा।

“Deliberate delay in administering vaccines is also being termed as a strategy. He (CM) says the government has vaccines, but these will be administered to people in small numbers over several days. This is the reason why the people of Haryana are not able to get the vaccines..,” Congress normal secretary Randeep Singh Surjewala mentioned in a tweet.

“So far, all vaccination doses are coming from the Centre’s side. Delhi’s population is two crore, our population is 2.90 crore,” the Haryana chief minister mentioned.
“If we go by this ratio, Delhi has got 51 lakh vaccine doses and accordingly we should have got 74 to 75 lakh doses, but we have got only 58 lakh doses. If one goes by per million population, Delhi has got more and Haryana has got less vaccine doses,” he added.

His remarks come amid Kejriwal’s demand for extra vaccine doses from the Centre.
