New Delhi: At an all-party meeting called by the government on Covid-19 fight and rollout of a vaccine, several parties, including Biju Janata Dal, Bahujan Samaj Party, YSRCP and Samajwadi Party, urged the government to ensure Covid vaccination free of cost for the poor and vulnerable groups, and nominally priced for others. TRS leader K Keshava Rao asked the government how it planned to distribute the vaccine as the BJP had promised during the civic election in Hyderabad, as well as earlier in Bihar. He also urged the government to release funds due to the states at the earliest so that the vaccination drive can be smoothly conducted.
YSRCP's Vijay Sai Reddy informed that his state government has a task force in place but stated such a drive needs lot of assistance from the Centre.
