‘Can’t Trust BJP Vaccine,’ Says Akhilesh Yadav; Health Min Reacts

The former UP CM also promised “free vaccine” if his party came to power in the state in 2022.

Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan on Sunday, 4 January, hit out at the Opposition for ‘politicising’ the process of approving the coronavirus vaccine.

Taking to Twitter, Vardhan said that the leaders were trying to “discredit well laid out science-backed protocols followed for approving” the vaccines.

Disgraceful for anyone to politicise such a critical issue.

Sh @ShashiTharoor, Sh @yadavakhilesh & Sh @Jairam_Ramesh don't try to discredit well laid out science-backed protocols followed for approving #COVID19vaccines

Wake up & realise you are only discrediting yourselves !
