As of September 25, Uttar Pradesh has achieved the milestone of administering a total of 10.02 crore doses of the Covid-19 vaccine. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had announced “Mega Vaccination Drive” or “Vaccine Mahaabhiyan” from July 1, under which the target was to administer nine crore doses by the end of three months. The target has already been achieved before the end of the third month.
Notably, on July 2, alleged journalist Ajit Anjum had published a video on his YouTube channel in which he had challenged CM Yogi that if the state achieves the target, he will salute CM 10 times.
In the video, he had said, “The UP government has claimed that the Mega Vaccination Drive would start in UP for three months from July 1. Under that mega vaccination drive, ten lakh people will get vaccinated every day. According to that, there is a plan to vaccinate 10 lakh people, i.e. three crore in a month and nine crore people in 3 months.”
Coming to the achievement of the Yogi government in Uttar Pradesh, the state has achieved the milestone and became the first state to administer ten crore doses of the Covid-19 vaccine. Maharashtra, the state at second position in terms of doses administered, is almost two crore doses behind UP. CM Yogi published a tweet about the achievement and said, “Under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and tireless efforts of the Uttar Pradesh government, the state has administered over ten crore doses of Covid-19 vaccine. The achievement is dedicated to committed health workers and disciplined citizens. You should also get ‘Vaccine of Victory’…”
आदरणीय प्रधानमंत्री श्री @narendramodi जी के मार्गदर्शन व @UPGovt के अथक प्रयासों का सुफल है कि प्रदेश में 10 करोड़ से अधिक कोविड टीके का सुरक्षा कवच प्रदान किया जा चुका है।

यह उपलब्धि प्रतिबद्ध स्वास्थ्यकर्मियों व अनुशासित नागरिकों को समर्पित है।
आप भी लगवाएं ‘टीका जीत का’…
As the state has completed the target in the stipulated time frame, people have sought a follow-up video from Ajit Anjum saluting CM Yogi ten times for the achievement. Twitter user Jay shared a snippet of Anjum’s video and said, “Today UP has accomplished the target of 10 crore vaccines, there are still 5 days left in 3 months and according to the average 10 lakh doses per day, 9 crore vaccines should have been administered by the end of three months. Now let’s see Ajit Anjum, Do you have the guts to make a video saluting CM Yogi or not? Will wait Anjum ji.
आज यूपी ने १० करोड़ के टार्गेट को पूरा किया ३ महीने होने में अभी ५ दिन बाकी हैं और और एवरेज १० लाख के हिसाब से ३ महीने में ९ करोड़ टीके लग गए। अब देखते हैं @ajitanjum जी में सलाम करते हुए वीडियो बनाने की हिम्मत हैं या नहीं। इंतज़ार रहेगा अंजुम जी। pic.twitter.com/mqWE9wJip6

Quoting Jay, former bureaucrat Sanjay Dixit questioned Anjum and said, “When are you putting a video saluting Yogi? 9 crore doses have been administered and 5 days are left for your challenge!”

Journalist Ashok Shrivastav said, “If he releases a video saluting Yogi ji, then someone should also tell me as I am blocked.”

Hashtags like “सलाम_ठोक_अजीत_अंजुम” and “झुक_अंजुम_और_सलामी_दे” asking Anjum to salute CM Yogi are trending on Twitter.
After the hashtags on Anjum became top trending on Twitter, he responded and claimed that his challenge for the ten salamis was for completing 10 crore doses in just the three month period and not cumulative figure.
आज के अखबार की खबर के मुताबिक 26 जून तक यूपी में 3 करोड़ टीके लग चुके थे .
— Ajit Anjum (@ajitanjum) September 26, 2021
25 सितंबर तक 10 करोड़ लगे . मतलब 7 करोड़ टीके इन 3 महीनों में लगे .
टारगेट प्रति दिन 10 लाख के हिसाब से 9 करोड़ का था .
तीन महीने में टारगेट पूरा करने की ही चुनौती मैंने दी भी थी.
(2/3)
He said that since the total doses administered by UP Govt had already crossed 3 crore figure till 30th June 2021, his challenge remains unfulfilled.
फिर भी मैं तारीफ करूँगा कि योगी सरकार ने Vaccination की रफ्तार बधाई है .

अगर 3 महीने में 9 करोड़ का टारगेट ( जुलाई से सितंबर)
पूरा होता तो वादे के मुताबिक ज़रूर सलाम करता जिसकी मांग बीजेपी की ट्रोल आर्मी #झुक_अंजुम_और_सलामी_दे
हैशटैग से ट्रेंड कराकर कर रही है
He further claimed that had the UP govt managed to administer 9 crore doses in three months (calculating 10 lakh doses per day for three months), he would have given 10 salami the way ‘BJP’ is demanding by trending the hashtag, #झुक_अंजुम_और_सलामी_दे.
