THANE: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Rajya Sabha MP
Vinay Sahasrabuddhe on Friday said the Shiv Sena-ruled
Thane Municipal Corporation failed to make Covid-19 vaccines available in adequate numbers for a mega drive planned to mark the 71st birthday of prime minister
Narendra Modi.
He said the Thane civic administration coming under pressure from the ruling party needed to be condemned, adding that vaccines were not the "property of any one political party".
"BJP leaders in the city wanted to organise vaccination camps in their wards but the
TMC authorities failed to provide doses. Instead, they were given to ruling party corporators. This has angered people of Thane," Sahasrabuddhe told reporters.
Civic officials could not be contacted despite repeated attempts.
