Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has accused the Centre of diverting attention from the rising number of deaths due to coronavirus. He mentioned the declining number of vaccination due to the shortage of vaccine jabs. While criticizing the central government, Rahul shared graphs showing a decline in vaccinations and a rise in the number of daily deaths due to coronavirus.
He tweeted, “Vaccines are decreasing and Covid death are increasing. The Central government policy- Divert attention, spread untruth, make noise by hiding facts.”
India has reported the highest number of fatalities in a single day. Around 4,529 new deaths are reported in the last 24 hours.
