Karnataka Congress president DK Shivakumar challenged the state government to vaccinate the state’s 80% adult population with both doses by the end of September in order to save people from the probable third wave of Covid-19. Hence, I want to ask the Karnataka government if they are up for this challenge?” Shivakumar was quoted as saying by news agency PTI. Shivakumar pointed out that the Karnataka government has been able to only vaccinate 7% of the eligible population with both doses. The Karnataka Congress president said that the government will be held accountable for the third wave if it fails to vaccinate 80% of the adults before the end of September. If BJP leaders don't obsess over doing their own small scams with private vaccination, we can easily achieve it,” Shivakumar said.
