Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday attacked the Centre over its statement that it had never spoken about inoculating everyone with a vaccine against COVID-19, and asked what Prime Minister Narendra Modi stands by.

The Centre on Tuesday said there may not be a need to vaccinate the country’s entire population against COVID-19 if critical masses of people are given a shot to break the chain of virus transmission, and made it clear it had never spoken about inoculating everyone.

“PM — Everyone will get the vaccine. BJP in Bihar elections — Everyone in Bihar will get a free vaccine. Now, GOI — Never said everyone will get a vaccine. Exactly what does the PM stand by?” Gandhi said in a tweet.

Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan had said at a media briefing that there may not be a need to vaccinate the country’s entire population against COVID-19 if critical masses of people are given a shot to break the chain of the virus transmission.

“I just want to make this clear that the government has never spoken about vaccinating the entire country. It’s important that we discuss such scientific issues based on factual information only and then analyse it,” Bhushan had said.
