New Delhi, May 19 : Hours after India recorded highest death due to Covid in a single day, former Congress President Rahul Gandhi slammed the government saying vaccines are decreasing while deaths are increasing. He said, the government s policy is to divert attention and spread lies.
In a tweet in Hindi, Rahul Gandhi said, Vaccines reducing while the number of deaths due to Covid is increasing. Central government s policy is to divert attention, spread lies and make noise by hiding facts.
He also attached screenshots of news reports indicating a sharp decline in the Covid vaccines and steep rise in the number of deaths due to Covid.

Paddy, maize and sugarcane farmers will receive the funds.
20 lakh farmers in the state will benefit from the NYAY scheme.
The Chhattisgarh government is all set to credit the bank accounts of farmers in the state on May 21 under the Rajiv Gandhi Kisan Nyay Yojana being launched by Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel.
The decision to deposit NYAY funds directly in the bank accounts of farmers was taken in a cabinet sub-committee meeting held earlier in May 2021 under the chairmanship of Agriculture Minister Ravindra Choubey.
The scheme was announced by former Congress President Rahul Gandhi earlier in 2020, and it aims to provide an additional respite to the farmers of the state while boosting the rural economy. The stimulus is also aimed at helping farmers battle the pandemic-led economic downturn.
Congress slams BJP for âforgeryâ
New Delhi
Noting forgeries as a hallmark of the BJP, the Congress on Tuesday said it is filing an FIR for forgery against BJP President @bjpnadda and @sambitswaraj (BJPâs national spokesman Sambit Patra).
Its spokesman and former MP Rajeev Gowda tweeted: âBJP is propagating a fake âtoolkitâ on âCOVID-19 mismanagementâ and attributing it to AICC Research Department.â
The tweet regretted âwhen our country is devastated by Covid, instead of providing relief, BJP shamelessly concocts forgeries.â
Congressâs social media head Rohan Gupta said: âAfter failing to help India in fighting pandemic, the BJP has now stooped to a new low by spreading falsehood to discredit those assisting people.â He endorsed Gowdaâs tweet the party is going to file an FIR against Nadda, Patra and others âindulging in forging documents.â
