• Strict action should be taken against such ministers who do not bother to follow the rules !

Bengaluru – Several central ministers including Prime Minister Narendra Modi have been vaccinated at designated hospitals. Common public  is also queuing up  to get vaccinated. However B.C. Patil, Karnataka agricultural minister called the health workers at home and got himself and his wife vaccinated. After landing into controversy he justified himself saying, “what is wrong in that”? Central health department has taken a note of this incident and called for a report in this regard from the Karnataka government.

B.C. Patil said, “Have I committed any crime? I have taken the vaccine at home, which not a crime. If I would have gone to a hospital for inoculation, people would have been inconvenienced.” (Central ministers did not feel what Patil feels. Should this be interpreted that he understands better than them ? – Editor)

Patil defended himself, saying he has not committed any crime and wanted to avoid trouble for the public.https://t.co/efRca9CW0o
