The Congress leader shared his party&rsquo;s 100 crore plan saying the state unit has strategised to finance a drive with 90 crore from Congress MLA/MLC funds and 10 crore from the state unit&rsquo;s fund. The plan is to further raise money from public donations and administer jabs by parterning with hospitals and clinics. Shivakumar dared that his party could launch and run a successful drive better than the Modi-Yediyurappa government.
The Congress chief has also demanded that the Centre bear the entire cost of the national drive, owning to the financial burden that the states are facing due to the lockdowns.
