The Goa Forward Party on Sunday wrote to the Election Commission of India to ensure a "prioritised vaccine drive" against Covid-19 in the State as it would be facing Assembly polls in early 2022.
In the letter, GFP chief Vijai Sardesai said campaigns in five poll-bound States recently were conducted without adherence to Covid-19 norms which led to a spike in cases.
"It is our firm belief and hope that a prioritised vaccine drive and allocation of doses for poll-bound states would massively help reduce the risk of spreading the virus," Sardesai said in the letter.
