Union Minister Prakash Javedkar slammed Rahul Gandhi on Friday and said he should look after the Punjab government who is making profit from selling COVID-19 vaccines to private hospitals.

“Rahul Gandhi should first look after his (Congress) state rather than giving lectures to others. Punjab govt has been provided more than 1.40 lakh doses of Covaxin at Rs 400 & they’ve given it to 20 private hospitals at Rs 1000,” Prakash Javadekar said.

“Till today, the Central government had provided 22 crore doses of COVID-19 vaccines to states for free of cost. They (Punjab government) had demanded decentralization of vaccination and now they are saying to centralize it,” he added.

Prakash Javadekar further spoke about mismanagement of vaccination drive in Punjab and internal fights within the government.

“For the last 6 months, they have been witnessing an internal fight. The entire Punjab government and the party leaders are in Delhi for the last 3-4 days, who will take care of Punjab in their absence?” he said.

Prakash Javadekar said that Congress is committing the sin of ignoring the common people of Punjab for their internal politics.
