Let’s trace the events over the last 6 months.
First, opposition politicians and some media sellouts panned the vaccines, spread doubts and fears about their efficacy baselessly. Some called the vaccines “BJP vaccines”.

Does anybody think that *any* Indian Govt. would be so irresponsible as to just launch any vaccine publicly for use by hundreds of millions of people without due process and due diligence?
Some poisonous editors, compromised journalists and vicious politicians did exactly that.

One Uttar Pradesh leader panned the “BJP vaccines”. Chhattisgarh held back Covaxin usage for 2 months. Hardly any top leaders of Congress or other opposition parties declared they are taking / have taken the vaccine or posted photos to create public confidence in the vaccines.
This toxic cabal of politicians and their media pets then started hankering for opening up vaccinations to all adults. The Govt did so, and now the same guys are attacking the Govt saying “why is the vaccine so expensive”, alleging corruption by the private manufacturers.
Relentless mud-slinging and politicization of something as crucial in the pandemic response as the vaccination rollout is as low as it gets. But this cabal is not done yet. And India pays the price.
