Former Uttar Pradesh CM and Chief of Bahujan Samaj Party, Mayawati, on Sunday, hailed the approval of the COVID-19 vaccine in India and urged the Centre to make it available for free for the poor and needy.
Mayawatis reaction comes after Oxford Universitys COVID-19 vaccine – Covishield – developed by the Serum Institute of India along with AstraZeneca – and Covaxin – developed by Bharat Biotech – were approved by India’s drug regulator on Sunday morning.
Mayawati took to Twitter and wrote: The Swadeshi COVID-19 vaccine is a result of efforts taken by our scientists. I welcome the approval of the vaccine and congratulate all, who were associated in making it.
She further stated, It is my humble request to the Central government, that if the extremely poor and the needy can get the vaccine for free of cost then it will be helpful.
On Saturday, former Uttar Pradesh CM and Samajwadi Party Supremo, Akhilesh Yadav, publicly said that he won’t be vaccinating himself as he did not trust ?BJP’s vaccine.
