‘BJP put lives at stake…’, claims Akhilesh amid Covishield side-effect row

Lucknow, 1/5: Amid a controversy over the ‘side effects’ of Covishield vaccine, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday accused the BJP of putting the lives of people at stake for ‘extorting political donations’ from a vaccine manufacturer.

Demanding a high-level judicial probe into it, Yadav said allowing such lethal medicines amounts to a “conspiracy to murder someone” and those responsible should be prosecuted.
