On the other hand, Odisha BJP general secretary Golak Mohapatra said 65.68 lakh people in Odisha have been vaccinated so far, out of which 64 lakh have got it for free of cost and now the State government should increase COVID-19 testing.
"It's not the time to get engaged in blame game. We have to unitedly fight against the virus. Centre has allocated 44.5 lakh Antigen kit. The State government should enhance testing, tracing and treatment."
However, taking a jibe at the ruling-BJD in the State, he said those who have got COVID vaccine must keep their certificate from the CoWIN portal. One can get no benefit from the vaccination certificate bearing the photo of Chief Minister, claimed Mohapatra.
