Lucknow, Sep 26 (PTI) Samajwadi Party supremo Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday attacked the BJP-led Central government after India’s apex drugs regulatory body found that samples of around 50 drugs were of ‘substandard’ quality, and asked what action has been taken.
The Central Drugs Standards Control Organisation has reportedly found that samples of around 50 drugs, including that of widely-used paracetamol, pantoprazole and some antibiotics for treating bacterial infections, were of substandard quality.
In a post on X, Yadav said, “Today’s corrupt BJP government should answer, will taking such medicine cure or make you sick?” “As long as BJP keeps collecting donations from companies, the business of low quality medicines will continue. Will any action be taken even after this report or will the matter be hushed up by increasing the rate of donations. This BJP game of playing with the lives of the public is not good. Condemnable!” the former chief minister said. PTI ABN ABN DV DV
