Dr Ashwathnarayan – Dy CM, Karnataka:
At the outset, DK Shivakumar avare, did you check with your Party President before making your grandiose claim?
Last I checked, your leader thinks that Centre should procure all vaccines.
Do you disagree & think her opinion is ill-founded? Or has INC changed its position again?
At a time when our nation is facing an unprecedented crisis & is united in its fight against COVID, it is saddening to see you & INC indulge in creating false panic & offering contradicting stands for political benefits instead of directing energies against a common enemy.
Under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi, over 17 cr Indians have received vaccine. No country in the world has vaccinated its citizens at the scale and pace as in India. As of 11 May, Karnataka under the leadership of CM Shri BS Yediyurappa has vaccinated over 1 Cr people.
Govt of Karnataka is committed to ensure the safety and security of every Kannadiga. We have formulated a scientific and evidence-based policy to combat the COVID19 pandemic.
Karnataka is the first state in the country to offer doorstep delivery of Oxygen Concentrators to help maintain oxygen saturation levels of home isolation patients. At a time when country was facing shortage of ICUs, our Govt created modular ICUs.
It is saddening, although not unexpected, to see you & INC leaders indulging in political theatrics when our state is facing such challenging times. DK Shivakumar avare, politics can wait, saving the lives of Kannadigas is of paramount importance.
The poor vaccination record of Congress Govt’s across various states is testimony enough to show the hollowness of your claim. DK Shivakumar avare, why have you not helped Congress Govts with your insights? Or is your claim borne out of a desire to seek cheap publicity?
At a time when the state of Karnataka and its people are mounting a brave fight against COVID19, I wish that my esteemed INC colleague DK Shivakumar will for once indulge in constructive politics based on public interest. Karnataka is watching you!
