Government's vaccination strategy responsible for Covid-19 spread: Rahul Gandhi
India TV NewsSenior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has written an open letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking immediate measures to flatten COVID-19 curve in the country. He wrote, "The pandemic has demonstrated that our size, genetic diversity, and complexity make India fertile ground for the virus to rapidly mutate, transforming itself into a more contagious and dangerous form". "Your government's lack of clear and coherent Covid and vaccination strategy, as well as its hubris in declaring premature victory as the virus was exponentially spreading, has placed India in a highly dangerous position", he wrote. Furthermore, Rahul called out on "GOI's failures making another lockdown almost inevitable" and asked the government to "prepare people for the possibility" of imposing restrictions. Four points that Rahul highlighted as "urgent issues to be addressed without delay" in the letter: Scientifically tracking the virus and its mutations across the country using genome sequencing and disease patterns.
