Former RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan says it was complacency and lack of leadership that has led to the covid crisis and vaccine chaos in India. 

Speaking to Bloomberg Television Rajan said "There was a sense that we had endured the worst the virus could give us and we had come through and it was time to open up, and that complacency hurt us,” 

Rajan also stated that “Anybody paying attention to what was happening in the rest of the world, in Brazil for example, should have recognized the virus does come back and potentially in more virulent forms.”
