In a recent statement, senior Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge criticized the Modi government, accusing it of prioritizing vanity projects over critical public health initiatives such as child vaccination. Kharge’s remarks come amid ongoing debates regarding the allocation and utilization of funds from the PM CARES Fund.
Allegations of Misplaced Priorities
Kharge highlighted what he perceives as a misplaced priority in the government’s handling of the PM CARES Fund, suggesting that resources could be better utilized to enhance the vaccination drive for children. He expressed concerns over the government’s approach, emphasizing the need for a more focused and effective strategy in combating childhood diseases through vaccination.
Government Response and Public Reaction
The Modi government, on its part, has defended its decisions, arguing that the PM CARES Fund has been instrumental in addressing various aspects of the pandemic response, including healthcare infrastructure and vaccine procurement. However, Kharge’s criticism has resonated with some sections of the public and opposition, prompting further debate on the fund’s transparency and allocation.
