    Centre increases vaccine doses to Maharashtra; 'not enough,' says state
  • Even as the central government increased the number of vaccine doses to Maharashtra, state Health Minister Rajesh Tope on Thursday complained that the same was not enough.

    Tope accused the Centre of being "discriminatory" toward Maharashtra.

    The development comes a day after Union Health Minister Dr. Harsh Vardhan had said that the Maharashtra government was "covering up" its failures by complaining about vaccine shortage.

    'Why is there discrimination against Maharashtra?'
  • Addressing a press conference on Thursday, Tope said Maharashtra was not getting the priority for vaccine doses despite having double the population of Gujarat.

    "We are questioning why there is discrimination against Maharashtra. Even this is less because we need 40 lakh vaccine doses a week and 17 lakh doses are not enough," ANI quoted him as saying.

    'Not pulling a stunt; stop politicizing issue'

  • Further, Tope asked the Centre to not politicize the matter saying, "We want the Centre to support us at this juncture, not oppose us. We are not pulling a political stunt, and request him (Harsh Vardhan) to not politicize this issue either."
