Read this ANI thread carefully. Vaccine market opened up. Now states cribbing that centre not giving us vaccines can buy directly from the manufacturers.
States will get vaccines from centre quota (50% of monthly vaccines produced) based on performance. Perform well on vaccination and get more quota. Perform badly and your quota decreases.
Even then states cannot crib as you can buy directly from manufacturers.
But the price will be either same or higher than the price at which centre procures the vaccines.
If states do corruption in this viz. by selling vaccines in black, the common people suffer and you cannot pass buck to the centre. You were given freedom to purchase
Plus SII n BB can sell 50% monthly quota to state govts or privately. So expect pvt hospital to provide vaccination at 500-1000 rupees a dose and upper middle class/rich go for it to avoid crowds and comfort.
So no govt subsidy to those below 45 years age and who can afford it.
Plus vaccine manufacturers provided financial credit to expand production. 3000 cr to SII and 1500 cr to BB. So they are indebted to centre n they can increase production a lot.
Plus Sputnik and any other vaccines coming now will increase availability of doses.
Dalals like Coupta have blabbered on centre doing centralized management. Now they cannot reverse positions if CMs like Uddhav or Kejri lament about lack of money to buy vaccines.
I would especially be laughing at Sena supporters who were saying we would take over SII production as it is located in Pune.
Poonawalla is not your mama who will give you free vaccines. Let's see how much vaccines MVA govt buys on own. If u can buy 50% quota of state govt n pvt
Plus centre has shown that they morally own free (or 250/dose) vaccines to 45 year plus citizens who form approx. 84% of deaths.
Plus for the poor who get it through centre quota.
Those who can afford are now free to vaccinate themselves by paying more
Given the shock of second wave, now more people will go for vaccination. If not immediately then in 30 days from 1st May when initial load settles. If u miss this chance, dont blame anyone else.
I would personally do vaccination in a private hospital so I dont take govt subsidy

Narayan Rane the ex CM of Maharashtra has helped to get jobs for a lot of youth originally from Konkan but now in Mumbai, in enterprises like BEST etc. Many of these youth used to go to Konkan to campaign for him during elections. #BMC2022
Mumbai has a huge population from Konkan historically as it is part of the coastline. Over the last century, the city grew n attracted more migrants. I myself am a 5th generation migrant from Konkan.
Hence Narayan Rane and family can help reach out to a lot of voters
Rane was the first politician in Konkan who took road infra to the remotest of hilly villages. Over the last decade the Rane family had lost popularity in Konkan but now they are gaining back the turf.
Rane can influence atleast a 1000 votes in more than a 100 wards
Look at how fresh @PawarSpeaks saheb is looking nowadays. The lure of power makes people young. Pawar kaka is trying one last attempt at being PM.
First objective is to get Gandhis give up claim to throne for 2024 and support a third front consensus candidate
Will be hard but dont rule out Pawar trying to get secular establishment to put pressure on Gandhis to relent. Today Praful Patel and Sanjay Raut are talking about it. Tomorrow someone like a Ramchandra Guha may talk about it.
Barkha Dutt and Shekar Gupta like fixers may start writing pieces about it. Actually it is the only way 2024 will not be an one sided election if Modi keeps performing well. Combined opposition may be only hope to keep below 272 though it is not likely.
BJP has potential to win one more seat in Dahisar (Ward 1) where Ram Yadav of BJP had revolted and his wife had fought as an independent (reserved for women) and she came number 2. BJP official candidate stood 4th. Now Ram Yadav is back in BJP.
Bhau rightly points out that the appointment of trade union leader Bhai Jagtap as Mumbai Congress chief is a good move as he is an ambitious leader, unlike the earlier chiefs.
Cong which used to get anti Sena vote has lost it to the BJP in 2017 in Mumbai, as BJP is oppn to Sena
Bhai Jagtap is talking of Cong fighting on its own in BMC. There could be three reasons why he is talking like that, 1. Congress has lost strength in Mumbai. From 70 odd wards won in 2007 to 50 odd in 2012 and finally 30 odd in 2017, it has been a downward graph.
MVA govt n Uddhav opposed Modi's pet project bullet train despite knowing that Mumbai - Ahmedabad is just the first stage of Mumbai - Ahmedabad - Delhi route.
Then u unwisely move the metro yard from best location Aarey to unwieldy Kanjur marg knowing litigation
Centre has always been claiming the land through salt department. It is not a new stand after 2019. But still CM did this only coz his son wanted it this way.
Now when courts have stopped the work, and no other solution seems possible Uddhav is talking of reconciliation on this.
They hope to strike a bargain on the bullet train project and Kanjur marg metro yard. Knowing Modi this does not seem possible. But MVA is still trying by putting name of Pawar into this.
Pawar himself may be using this opportunity to talk to Modi on other issues as well
Most likely scenario in municipal elections in Mumbai. Sena fighting 130 odd and Congress less than 100 might be unacceptable to both. So seat adjustment in polls and post poll alliance might be the game
In mixed population ward, if BJP candidate was a Gujarati or Hindi bhashik; Congress would field a similar candidate to cause vote division. This would enable the Sena candidate dependent on Marathi votes to scrape through.
Plus Sena and Congress would make deals on wards. For example Waikar of Sena and Naseem Khan of Congress would make a deal to leave Jogeshwari wards to Sena and Chandivali/Powai wards to Congress.
Sena would not mobilize voters where alliance partner BJP would fight
