Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has justified this promise amid criticism by opposition parties over BJP's promise of free corona vaccine in Bihar election manifesto. The Finance Minister said on Saturday, "This announcement is absolutely fine and the party can announce what it wants to do when it comes to power."

He said this is an announcement made in the manifesto. A party can announce what it wants to do when it comes to power. Exactly the same announcement has been made. Health is a state subject. This is completely correct. The Finance Minister said that every party in its manifesto states what it wants to do when it comes to power. Elections to the Bihar Legislative Assembly will be held in three phases.

Significantly, Sitharaman had on Thursday released the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) manifesto for the Bihar assembly elections. Promises made in the document include the vaccination of Kovid for free to the people of the state when the saffron party returns to power.
