Providing vaccine doses in adequate numbers and allocating funds to the states are also important in fighting the pandemic. Don't assume that your obligation is only doing lip service like this.

I 100% agree on this.@narendramodi please do something. as a young BJP supporter our confidence is shaking seeing you not setting right priorities. New parliament building cannot be priority for our nation at this point of time.
