Faceoff: Netizens hail Modi's free Covid vaccine announcement, many credit SC and opposition
The Centre's new policy comes days after Supreme Court (SC) slammed the ongoing vaccination drive for the 18-44 age group and called it "arbitrary and irrational."
Twitter remained divided over whom to give credit for this announcement, while many hailed PM, others claimed Modi yielded to pressure by SC and opposition.
#FreeVaccineForAll This is Master Stroke by honourable #PMModi Ji.💪🏻
