Why are people +ve after Covid vaccine, Akhilesh yadav to govt

AGRA: Why are people who have taken both doses of Covid-19 vaccine still testing positive, asked Akhilesh Yadav, former UP CM, on Monday. He sought clarification from the government on the matter. Akhilesh, who was in Firozabad to offer prayers at Siyardevi temple, told mediapersons that he and his Samajwadi Party workers will take the vaccination only after the vaccine is provided free of cost to the poor. “Covid-19 cases are on the rise. Government has not been able to control the virus from spreading,” he said. On transfer of mafia don and MLA Mukhtar Ansari from Punjab’s Ropar jail to UP’s Banda jail, the former CM said, “His (Mukhtar Ansari) lawyer and family members have expressed trust in court and hope of getting justice. But the way BJP functions, it is hard to believe that anyone will get justice.” On the ongoing farmers’ protest, Akhilesh alleged that the BJP government has cheated farmers. His party is supporting the farmers’ protest against the three farm laws since the first day, he added. Paying tribute to 23 security personnel killed in Maoist ambush in Chhattisgarh, Akhilesh said “The government should answer who is responsible for the killing of paramilitary security personnel. Government is not able to protect the borders and has failed to address internal issues.”
