A publicity stunt? Gamosa from election-bound Assam, nurses from election-bound Kerala & Puduchery: Congress hits out

The Congress has hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, hinting his COVID-19 vaccination as a possible publicity stunt.

Controversial Congress leader Adhir Chowdhury has slammed Narendra Modi over the PM’s choice of attire and nurses for his inoculation.

“In PM’s inoculation visuals, there was an Assamese ‘gamosa’, and nurses who vaccinated him were from Kerala and Puducherry,” Adhir Choudhury said.

“Notably, there are elections in these states. It could have been 5 states had Modi also carried Rishi Aurobindo’s photo and Geetanjali with him,” Congress leader Adhir Choudhury added.

Took my first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at AIIMS.

Remarkable how our doctors and scientists have worked in quick time to strengthen the global fight against COVID-19.

I appeal to all those who are eligible to take the vaccine. Together, let us make India COVID-19 free! pic.twitter.com/5z5cvAoMrv
