New Delhi [India]May 22 (STYXOR.COM): Hitting out at Arvind Kejriwal for his remarks on Covid-19 vaccines, Union Minister Prakash Javadekar on Saturday said the Delhi Chief Minister should stop giving excuses and indulging in politicking over the issue.
Speaking to STYXOR.COM, Javadekar said, “Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal does politics in name of Delhi every day. Now, he has demanded vaccines from the Centre for Delhi. Yesterday he stated that 50 lakh vaccine doses have been administered till now. Who gave these vaccines to Delhi? The Centre has made available 20 crore doses administered till now including in Delhi.”
He further said Union Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan has given a blueprint on how adults will be vaccinated before December 2021.
“Kejriwal first complained about the scarcity of oxygen. Then he said Delhi has excess oxygen. There is equitable distribution of vaccines across the country. In future, the Centre will make these vaccines available to Delhi. I want to tell Kejriwal that he should stop giving excuses,” added the union minister.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi stating that Delhi requires 80 lakh COVID-19 vaccine doses per month to innoculate the people of the national capital in three months.
The Chief Minister, in his letter, mentioned that the national capital received just 16 lakh doses of the COVID-19 vaccine in May.
“In this pace, vaccinating the adult population will take 30 months,” Kejriwal stated in his letter.
Delhi Chief Minister also informed that Covid-19 vaccination for the 18-44 age group will be halted from Saturday in the national capital as the vaccine stock for the category has been consumed.
Addressing a press conference, Kejriwal said that Delhi is undergoing a severe vaccine shortage and alleged that the central government has reduced the vaccine quota of the national capital. (STYXOR.COM)

New Delhi [India]May 11 (STYXOR.COM): The BJP on Monday slammed Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for targeting the Centre over COVID-19 management, stating that the AAP chief did not open a single hospital in his 7-year rule but spent over Rs 800 crores on publicity.
“Arvind Kejriwal spent Rs 804.93 crores on advertisements since 2015. But he did not open a single hospital during his 7-year rule. Before forming his government, Kejriwal had promised to add 30,000 new hospital beds,” said BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra.
He questioned the Delhi Government why it thinks that the Centre has been adopting a differential approach towards the national capital regarding oxygen supply.

“It is against humanity if any patient suffers due to lack of oxygen. But there should be no politics over it. If the Government of India can give oxygen to Maharashtra and other states, why do the Delhi Government think that the Centre is adopting a different approach towards Delhi?” he asked Kejriwal.
As many as 12,651 new COVID-19 cases and 319 deaths were reported in the national capital in the last 24 hours, said Delhi health department on Monday.
The cumulative caseload in the national capital mounted to 13,36,218 including 85,258 active cases and 12,31,297 total discharges/recoveries. The new fatalities pushed the COVID death toll in Delhi to 19,663. (STYXOR.COM)
