In response to the unbelievably baseless allegations made by Union Minister of Health @drharshvardhan ji here are some facts which are enough to prove that his is a politically driven agenda and holds no relevance to Centre's concern about Chhattisgarh. That's unfortunate! (1/7)

The data being published by central Govt itself suggests that there is no vaccine hesitancy in our state. Chhattisgarh is among one the leading states in COVID vaccination and only smaller states & UTs with lesser population like Sikkim, Ladakh, Tripura etc. are ahead of us (2/7)

While Congress governed Chhattisgarh has already vaccinated more than 10% of its population, BJP ruled states like Bihar, Assam and UP with meagre 3% vaccination failed to find a mention among Hon'ble Union Health Minister @drharshvardhan's tweets. You all may guess why. (3/7)

I stand by my statement on COVAXIN which was not fit for public use UNTIL it cleared all internationally set standards. After proving its efficacy the use of COVAXIN has been allowed by our Govt.

Nevertheless, Chhattisgarh has one of the highest vaccination rate in India. (4/7)

Any number of deaths because of COVID is saddening, yet connecting it to Anti-gen tests is a bit absurd, @drharshvardhan ji. Even then, there are 8 states with more number of rapid Antigen testing than Chhattisgarh but I am sure they must have somehow slipped your mentions. (5/7)

The PM in his address to the CMs said that our focus should be on testing, however low cumulative testing rate of BJP ruled states like Madhya Pradesh do not make it to your notes @drharshvardhan ji.

Are they receiving personal briefings on WhatsApp, instead of on Twitter? (6/7)

The Modi Govt must STOP this discriminatory behaviour with the non-BJP governed states.

Fair and transparent exchanges at this time is expected from the Centre so that the whole nation can fight the pandemic together. Think of people before political power, for once! (7/7)
