Madhya Pradesh CM should have taken first shot: Congress

BHOPAL: On the first day of anti-Covid vaccination, former minister Jeetu Patwari said that all doubts about vaccine would have been cleared and people would be more confident had chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and his ministers taken the vaccine shots first.
“The way doctors and health workers are taking the vaccines first is praiseworthy,” Jeetu Patwari said.“Priority should be given to run the vaccination programme in educational institutions including schools and colleges,” the former minister said. “Congress party welcomes the vaccine.”
State Congress spokesman Narendra Saluja took to twitter and posted a photograph of chief minister Chouhan and his ministers Prabhuram Choudhary, Vishwas Sarang looking on as wardboy Sanjay Yadav took the first vaccine. Saluja tweeted, “Extremely shameful picture. Those persons who should have taken the vaccine dose first and set an example before the people of the state, they became the audience and was looking on at a wardboy. Salute to wardboy Sanjay Yadav. You are the real hero, these persons turned out to be zero.”
