NEW DELHI: The Congress on Monday demanded transparency in the distribution of aid during the COVID-19 pandemic and urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to make public details of all relief material received by India from different countries.
The Congress on Monday demanded transparency in the distribution of aid during the COVID-19 pandemic and urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to make public details of all relief material received by India from different countries. Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera expressed hope that the party which wanted to make India Congress-free would strive to make the country free of COVID pandemic and work with sincerity in achieving this. He also took a swipe at Health Minister Harsh Vardhan over what he claimed was the world s largest vaccination programme and said it is one without vaccines. The prime minister should make public the relief coming in from various countries to ensure transparency, so that people should know where the relief material is coming and going. This is our demand as well as that of the people of the country, he told reporters.
The keystone for this fight to succeed is sincerity and transparency, it says
The Congress on Monday asked the Narendra Modi government to make public details of all relief material received from abroad and demanded that it should be transparent in its distribution.
Separately, former Union Minister Jairam Ramesh asked the government how Gujarat managed to administer most vaccines in the age group of 18 to 44 years after the drive for this age group was rolled out on May 1.
“Why Gujarat alone had 60% of all 18-44 age vaccinations on May 2? Why only 11 States were able to vaccinate in the same age group? Why is the total vaccination in the 18-44 group for the day ONLY 86,023? Source: Press Information Bureau, 02.05.2021. @drharshvardhan @PrakashJavdekar @narendramodi” asked Mr. Ramesh on twitter.

The Big Story: Plot hole
Did the Indian government fail to act in time to contain the massive second wave of Covid-19 because the top leaders of the ruling party were more focused on an election campaign in West Bengal – in which it would eventually be handed an enormous defeat?
Narrative is important to Narendra Modi. Indeed, it is all encompassing. For the Indian prime minister, no public appearance is a one-off. No speech is routine. A banal flyover inauguration is an opportunity to attack the Opposition for its failures in the past. A visit by a foreign leader is portrayed as recognition of India’s growing stature, powered single-handedly by the prime minister.
