Former union minister and veteran Congress leader P Chidambaram has criticized the union government over the Covid-19 situation in the country. The Congress leader warned the government of more protests if people were turned away at hospitals.
“We welcomed the decision to vaccinate all above the age of 18 years. However, we have to caution the government that this decision brings with it huge responsibilities,” he tweeted.

” The first and foremost requirement is the availability of vaccines. There are widespread complaints about the lack of supply of vaccines. The government’s claim that there is no shortage of vaccines is hollow and untrue”, he added.

” The time to plan for May 1 started many weeks ago. Is the government prepared for May 1? I am skeptical. Nevertheless, I urge the government to start preparing NOW in order to meet the much greater demand for vaccines on and after May 1″, added the Congress leader.
