I won't take BJP vaccine: Akhilesh Yadav

Lucknow/UNI: Politics over Covid-19 vaccine has commenced in Uttar Pradesh even as CM Yogi Adityanath-led government was preparing for the vaccination process to start soon.

In a sudden move, the principal opposition Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Saturday said that he will not take the BJP's vaccine.

"I am not going to get vaccinated for now. How can I trust BJP's vaccine, when our government will be formed everyone will get free vaccine. We cannot take BJP's vaccine," Yadav said.

The UP government was holding a dry run in six hospitals in the state capital on Saturday and will do the same in the entire state on next Tuesday.

However, officials said that the vaccination would commence from the auspicious 'Makar Sankranti' day which falls on Jan 15.
