As the vaccination drive picks up in West Bengal, now certificates of COVID-19 vaccination issued by West Bengal Health Department have a photograph of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
The certificates issued by State government’s vaccination on wheels initiative, where a bus has been converted into a mobile vaccination centre, have Ms. Banerjee's photograph.
Along with the picture, the certificate has slogan “Be Alert, Be Safe” in both Bengali and English.
Vaccination certificates have carried photographs of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which in the past was criticised by Trinamool Congress.
Minister and chairperson of Board of Administrators Kolkata Municipal Corporation Firhad Hakim defended the move saying that there is nothing wrong in having photograph of the head of State on certificate.
Bhatariya Janata Party (BJP) State spokesperson Samik Bhattacharya said that the Trinamool Congress wants to project that the place that our Prime Minister holds in our parliamentary democracy can be replaced by the Chief Minister. The Trinamool Congress and the BJP leadership also sparred over the GST (Goods and Service Tax) on vaccines by the Centre
