New Delhi, May 17 (TIWN) Attacking the Modi government's handling of the Covid pandemic, the Congress on Sunday also faulted its vaccine policy, saying the muddle arose because the "Prime Minister wanted to become the vaccine guru".

Addressing a virtual press conference, Congress spokesman Pawan Khera said: "The Government of India did not manage the crisis as well. When it came to negotiation with vaccine manufacturers, when it came to putting in place a vaccine policy, everything was centralised. Actually, it was not even centralised, it was individualised, because someone wanted to be a 'Vaccine Guru'. Narendra Modi wanted to be known as a 'Vaccine Guru'."
