Centre's 100-crore vaccination claim a farce, only 29 crore fully vaccinated: Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee
India TodayWest Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Sunday, October 24, called the Centre’s 100-crore vaccinations against Covid claim a farce. Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut, too, on Saturday had said that the claim of administering 100 crore vaccine doses in the country is "false" and not more than 23 crore jabs had been given to eligible citizens so far. WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus took to Twitter to congratulate Prime Minister Narendra Modi, scientists, health workers and the people of India on their "efforts to protect the vulnerable populations from Covid-19 and achieve vaccine equity targets". Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett tweeted, "Congratulations to Narendra Modi on leading India's successful Covid-19 vaccination campaign that has now administered more than 1 billion vaccines to the Indian people."
