NEW DELHI: Slamming the Union health minister for saying that the present Covid situation was better than last year, Congress on Wednesday demanded that Harsh Vardhan resign from the government or that he be sacked by PM Modi.
Calling Vardhan’s statement shameless, party spokesperson Supriya Shrinate said India lacked basic infrastructure ranging from oxygen to hospital beds to vaccines. She said the Sero survey had warned the government of a devastating second wave but it was ignored. She said the government’s negligence has been so brazen that the empowered group of ministers on Covid didn’t meet for one year after its meeting in April 2020. “Who’s responsible for this criminal negligence,” she asked. She slammed PM Modi for blaming the “system” after being in power for seven years. “You are continuing with vanity projects like the Central Vista project. With what face do you seek help from the US and the UK who are asking you about these vanity projects?”

Vice President Kamala Harris and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made history as the first two women to sit behind a president during an address to Congress.
Harris, who was the first Black American, South Asian American and woman to be Vice President, entered the House chamber on Wednesday to applause before quickly taking the hand of the waiting Pelosi and then elbow-bumping her.
House Speaker Pelosi is no stranger to breaking the glass ceiling, becoming in 2007 the first woman to sit on the same dais as a president, when former President George W. Bush addressed Congress.
