Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has expressed displeasure as different states are floating tenders to procure vaccines. Kejriwal said that due to this India’s image internationally becomes bad.
The AAP leader contends that it would be better for India to “procure vaccines on behalf of all Indian states”. As he put it, there were now states competing against each other to secure vaccines.
“Indian states left to compete/fight with each other in international market. UP fighting Maha, Maha fighting Orissa, Orissa fighting Delhi. Where is “India”? Portrays such a bad image of India,” he tweeted.
In a follow-up tweet, he noted that approaching vaccine manufacturers and their countries as an unified nation (rather than individual states) held far more “bargaining power”
“Indian government has much more diplomatic space to negotiate with their countries,” he opined.
