'Take Covid vaccine': Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad's jab at Rahul

Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad has an advice for Congress leader Rahul Gandhi who has been consistently attacking the Modi government on its Covid vaccination policy. The minister on Monday appealed to the Congress MP to get himself vaccinated against Covid-19.

"The country doesn't know if Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has yet vaccinated himself or not. If you (Rahul Gandhi) haven't got the Covid-19 vaccine yet, my humble appeal is that please get yourself vaccinated," Ravi Shankar Prasad said in Bihar's Patna, according to news agency ANI.

Last week, Congress said that party chief Sonia Gandhi has taken both doses of the Covid-19 vaccine and that Rahul Gandhi could not take the jab as he contracted the coronavirus disease in May. A senior party functionary had told PTI that Rahul Gandhi was scheduled to take the vaccine on May 16, but he tested positive for the coronavirus disease a day before.
