    At the review meeting, Modi advised the chief ministers and senior officials of various states to be vigilant because challenges concerning the Covid19 pandemic were not yet over.

    Digital Desk: On Wednesday, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) slammed Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal after he was caught on camera reclining on the chair during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Covid-19 review meeting. 

    Kejriwal was reportedly seen putting both of his arms over his head and to the back of the chair and sliding down the seat while Modi interacted via video conference.

    Taking to Twitter, the BJP Delhi shared the video clip of the moment and wrote, "Mannerless CM of Delhi!"

    The chief minister of Odisha, Naveen Patnaik, Basavaraj Bommai of Karnataka, Bhupesh Baghel of Chhattisgarh and Jagan Mohan Reddy of Andhra Pradesh, among others, were also seen in the 19-second video clip shared by the BJP.

    At the review meeting, Modi advised the chief ministers and senior officials of various states to be vigilant because challenges concerning the Covid19 pandemic were not yet over.

    The prime minister also asked to prioritize the need for vaccination among all eligible children at the earliest and called for conducting specialized programs in schools.

    At the same time, Narendra Modi also stressed the need for center-state cooperation and added that it is more required in the current war situation when India is facing several challenges due to supply chain disruption. Referring to the current petrol and diesel rates, the prime minister urged all states to reduce VAT on fuel prices.

    He named West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Telangana. "I am just appealing to you to implement what should have been done six months ago," PM Modi told the CMs of these states.
