Not just that he even opted out for the Bharat Biotech's covaxin that led to a barrage of criticism from the opposition for the trials for the vaccine still had not been completed.

Ever since the vaccination drive began in the couuntry, the Vaccine politics has been raging in the country.

A lot of questions have been raised by the opposition leaders.

Even today after PM Modi took the vaccine, he encouraged everyone who is eligible to come forward and take the jab.

Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury drew a link to the Assam, Kerala and Puducherry elections to the PMโ€™s gesture.

Chowdhury said that had PM Modi carried Rishi Aurobindoโ€™s photo and Geetanjali with him, all five poll-bound states would have been covered.
