Congress leader Rahul Gandhi slammed the Modi government for not fulfilling its "promise" to fully vaccinate all eligible beneficiaries against Covid-19 by the end of the year.

The government had told the Supreme Court in June that it expected the entire eligible population to be vaccinated against Covid-19 by end of the year. "The Centre had promised to vaccinate everyone with two doses of vaccines by end of 2021. Today, the year comes to an end. The country is still away from the vaccine. Another rhetoric bites the dust," Gandhi said on Twitter.
