Meanwhile today, the different official state handles of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) started tweeting about how free vaccinations in a huge number of centers run by the State governments across the country have come to a thudding halt while lucrative vaccinations by private hospitals are being offered at the same time. Soon many influential people started talking about the issue and the #VaccinationGhotala started trending on Twitter.
