When India is battling Covid-19 second wave, former Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis's nephew Tanmay Fadnavis, said to be about 22 years old, got vaccinated. Currently, only those aged above 45 are allowed to be vaccinated against COVID-19 in India.

In a tone-deaf manner, Tanmay posted a photo of himself getting the second dose, on Instagram. He was injected at National Cancer Institute (NCI) in Nagpur. He is the grandson of former MLA Shobha Fadnavis, the aunt of the ex-CM. #tanmayfadnavis #DevendraFadnavis #COVID19India
When asked how Tanmay was able to jump the queue, NCI Director Shailesh Joglekar revealed that he took the first jab at SevenHills Hospital in Mumbai. After the picture surfaced, which has now been deleted, Congress leaders seized the opportunity and rightfully slammed Fadnavis.
Separately, Maharashtra minister Nitin Raut demanded an inquiry. Ironically, Tanmay's grandmother didn't find anything wrong with his actions. BJP spokesperson Ram Kadam also attempted to save Fadnavis the embarrassment. #DevendraFadnavis #tanmayfadnavis #COVIDSecondWave #vaccine
Meanwhile, Fadnavis said Tanmay is a distant relative. "I have no idea under which criteria he received his dose," he said, adding that his wife and daughter haven't received the jabs yet as they don't qualify for it. #DevendraFadnavis #Maharashtra #MaharashtraFightsCorona
