We also contacted Chhattisgarh Collector Bharti Dasan who said that he was present at the vaccination centre with the Chief Medical Health Officer (CMHO) and SSP when CM Baghel received the jab.<\/p>\n

The photograph where the nurse is holding a syringe with the needle cap intact was a photo-op for the media. CM Baghel had tweeted a picture of him receiving the second dose. He appealed to people to get the jab.<\/p>\n

BJP members targetted Congress by falsely claiming that Chhattisgarh CM ‘faked’ taking the second dose of the vaccine. Earlier in January, Congress had targetted BJP<\/a> by claiming that Tumkur medical officials ‘pretended’ to take the jab. The officials had also refuted the claim and clarified they posed for the camera after getting vaccinated.<\/p>\n
