Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut hit out at the Modi government, while praising Russia for developing the Covid vaccine. Russia has shown that it is aatmanirbhar by producing the first coronavirus vaccine, Sanjay Raut said on Sunday. In India, there is only talk of being self-reliant, Raut said in his weekly column Rokhtokh in the Sena mouthpiece Saamana. It may be noted that Russian President Vladimir Putin had announced his country has developed the first vaccine against Covid-19, adding one of his daughters has already been vaccinated. However, there is a lot of skepticism about Russia's vaccine among international experts, who say it has not gone through the rigorous process of human trials.
