Prime Minister Narendra Modi should celebrate his birthday every day as some BJP-ruled states “performed” on the day and vaccinated many times the daily average, the Congress said on Saturday.
The party took a dig at Modi a day after India achieved the highest record of 2.5 crore Covid-19 vaccinations on a single day.
The Prime Minister’s reaction came after senior Congress leader P Chidambaram tweeted asking why we had to wait until the PM’s birthday. “Happy and grateful that 2.5 crore vaccinations were administered vaccines yesterday But why did we have to wait until the PM’s birthday?
Suppose the PM’s birthday was on December 31 then would the 2.5 crore vaccinations have been done only on the last day of the year? Vaccination is not like cutting a cake on a birthday,” he tweeted. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said this is the pace of vaccination the country needs.
