Amid the COVID-19 vaccination shortage row happening in Maharashtra, the blaim game between the state government Maha Vikas Aghadi and the Centre has created an uproar in politics of the state. In an another attack, the MVA government has slammed union minister Prakash Javadekar for accusing the state of wasting vaccinations.
Union Minister Prakash Javadekar holding a press conference had alleged that the Maharashtra government wasted 5 lakh doses. He further said that the state government should have taken a look at the BJP ruling states where the COVID-19 vaccination is being undertaken.
Following is the data released by the Centre of the wastage of vaccinations.
Telangana - 17.5%
Andhra Pradesh - 11.5%
Uttar Pradesh - 9.4%
Karnataka - 6.9%
J&K - 6.5%
Rajasthan - 5.6%
Assam - 5.5%
Gujarat - 5.3%
West Bengal - 4.1%
Maharashtra - 3.2%
Over the data, the MVA government said that 3.2% of wastage from the number of vaccine doses given to Maharashtra is very low as compared to other states. It is the agenda of BJP to malign the image of Maharashtra state and the government.
