Milked: Even medicines -GS Mudur

-The Telegraph

New Delhi: Patients' rights groups have accused the Centre of trying to use a decade-old programme that delivers inexpensive medicines through government-supported retail outlets to promote the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

The Jan Swasthya Abhiyan (JSA) and the All India Drug Action Network (AIDAN) on Monday expressed concern at what they said was the "misuse of the public-funded Pradhanmantri Bharatiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana for the promotion of one political party".

They said the NDA government had renamed the Jan Aushadhi scheme - launched by the Union chemicals and fertilisers ministry in November 2008 - first to Pradhan Mantri Janaushadhi Yojana and then to Pradhan Mantri Bharatiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana.

"Clearly, this was a blatant attempt to insert the acronym BJP into the name of the scheme," the JSA and the AIDAN said in a statement released on Monday.
