New Delhi/UNI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday accused the Centre of diverting the attention from the main issues while the Covid-19 deaths are increasing and the vaccines are reducing in the country.

"Vaccines are decreasing and Covid-related deaths are rising. The Central Government policy: Divert attention, spread false and make noise by hiding facts," Gandhi tweeted in Hindi along with two graphs showing a decline in vaccinations and the spike in the number of daily Covid-related deaths.

Earlier in the day, India recorded 4,529 new fatalities due to the Novel Coronavirus, the highest single-day spike since the onset of the pandemic last year, taking the total number of deaths in the country to 2,83,248, according to the Union Health Ministry data updated on Wednesday.

India's daily COVID-19 tally was below the three-lakh mark for the third day in a row, as it recorded 2,67,334 new cases, pushing the total number of infections in the country to 2,54,96,330.

On the vaccination front, a total 18,58,09,302 people have been vaccinated across the country till now, of which 13,12,155 doses were administered in the past 24 hours.
