Sisodia wrote on Twitter, "BJP says that all states take out their global tender and fight each other for vaccine in international market. If all the states fight each other for vaccine in the international market, then it will not bring disrepute to our country? ”

He further urged the Centre to launch a nationwide COVID-19 vaccination drive on the line of the pulse polio campaign.

Earlier during the day, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal wrote to PM Narendra Modi and pointed out the concerns over vaccine shortage in Delhi and said that the Centre should share the vaccine formula of the two manufacturers with other capable pharmaceutical companies to scale up production in the country.

According to news agency ANI, Lekhi said, "They have not withdrawn any tenders, nor have they made any other arrangements for vaccination." If they have done so, show a copy of the tender. "
