The Shiv Sena has launched a major attack on the BJP's announcement of the free vaccine in Bihar's election resolution letter. Shiv Sena spokesperson Sanjay Raut on Friday said that by claiming to give the vaccine in lieu of vote, BJP has exposed the discriminatory policy. We heard in school in childhood that you give me blood, I will give you freedom. But the BJP is saying that 'You vote me, I will give you the vaccine'.
Sanjay Raut said that BJP President JP Nadda, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and Union Health Minister Dr. Harsh Vardhan have talked about giving the vaccine to everyone when the corona vaccine comes, but now this new system by claiming to give a vaccine for free in the election manifesto Is being made
He questioned whether only those who voted for the BJP would get the Corona vaccine for free. Greed to give vaccines to those who vote is cruel. If the voters of Bihar voted for the other party, they would not get the vaccine for free. It is a preparation for partition in the country. First, it was divided on the basis of religion and caste and now it is being distributed in the name of the vaccine.
The promise of free vaccine is not lawful wrong, but the question of morality
At the same time, the three former Chief Election Commissioners of the country have said that the BJP's promise to provide free anti-coronary vaccine to the people in Bihar elections is not legally wrong. SY Qureshi said that this step will raise the question of morality because the Election Code of Conduct speaks of morality itself.
At the same time, OP Rawat reminded that the Supreme Court has made it clear that if a political party makes a promise in its manifesto, then it should also be provisioned in the budget to fulfill it. Another former election commissioner, who declined to be named, said that the timing of issuing the manifesto is also important.
He said that the Election Commission has not been able to implement the suggestion to release the manifesto not on the eve of voting but much earlier. Significantly, in the manifesto released on Thursday, BJP has promised to give the free vaccine to all the people of Bihar, to which opposition parties including RJD have raised objections.
