Centre Removes PM Photo From Vaccination Certificates In Poll-Bound States

The Union Health Ministry has instructed the removal of PM Narendra Modi's photo from the COVID-19 vaccination certificates to be issued in four poll-bound states, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Assam, West Bengal, and UT of Puducherry. The ministry took the decision after the TMC filed a complaint with the Election Commission, calling the photo a violation of the poll code. The TMC had stated that the PM's photo was stealing credits from the frontline workers.
