Maharashtra Health Minister Rajesh Tope.
The Centre vs state altercation over Covid vaccine doses witnessed fresh round of allegations from Maharashtra on Thursday. State Health Minister Rajesh Tope claimed that Gujarat, which has less population than Maharashtra, has been provided a much larger stock of vaccine by the Centre. Â
Tope also questioned the Modi government s move to send vaccines to various other countries rather than providing it to states battling the pandemic. We want at least 40 lakh vaccine dosages every week. Instead of supplying vaccines to other countries, supply them to our own states. The centre is helping us but it is not helping us in the way it should, Rajesh Tope said.Â

Maharashtra Health Minister Rajesh Tope alleged discrimination over supply of COVID-19 vaccine doses. The minister accused the Centre of giving BJP-ruled states more doses of the two approved COVID-19 vaccines Covaxin and Covishield. I have just got information that we have got additional stock. We have now got 17 lakh doses. It is still less compared to the demand of 40 lakh doses that we have made, said Rajesh Tope.
