Udupi, October 24: The Congress has questioned as to what credibility the BJP has to take out 'Janachethana Yathra'.

“At a time when the BJP led State government is caught in one or the other scam how can BJP leader L K Advani take out a Yathra against corruption,” said AICC Secretary Shantharam Nayak.

Addressing a press meet here on Monday, he said that crores of rupees were spent on similar yathras in the past. However, the BJP has failed to provide any account on the expenditure of the yathra till today.

'Give accounts'

He urged Advani to provide accounts of the yathra after completing the yathra.

“The BJP is losing its popularity in the State. The BJP has been demanding to bring back black money stashed abroad. In reality, it was one of the BJP leaders who had deposited huge amount in the Swiss Bank. Unfortunately, the leader is no more,” he said.

“The BJP President Nithin Gadkari acts the way RSS wants him to act. Hence, the BJP does not have any control over him,” he said.

“The image of the State has been spoiled by the former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa. If given a chance, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and Nithin Gadkari would have denotified even Taj Mahal,” he ridiculed adding that Team Anna has no respect for the Constitution. The Jan Lokpal Bill will not help any commonman, Nayak said.

Ready for polls

He said the Congress is ready to face the forthcoming Udupi-Chikmagalur by-election.

“We have held meetings in Udupi, Kaup, Karkala and Kundapura to discuss on the by-election. However, we have not taken any decision on the candidate.” Former ministers Jayaprakash Hegde, Vasanth Kumar Salian were present.

New Delhi, Jun 11: The Department of Pharmaceuticals has given its nod for lifting of ban on the export of hydroxychloroquine, Union Minister D V Sadananda Gowda said on Wednesday.

India had banned export of hydroxychloroquine on March 25, with some exceptions, amid views in some quarters that the drug could be used to fight COVID-19. On April 4, it completely banned the exports without any exception.

"Department of Pharmaceuticals has approved the lifting of ban on export of Hydroxychloroquine API as well as formulations. Manufacturers except SEZ/EOU Units have to supply 20 per cent production in the domestic market," the minister of chemicals and fertilisers said in a tweet.

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has been asked to issue formal notification in this regard, he added.

In another tweet, Gowda said he held discussions with representatives of pharma companies along with some of his ministerial colleagues on the challenges being faced by the industry and on the roadmap to boost exports.

"Had detailed discussion with representatives of pharma companies & association, stakeholder Ministries along with Hon Ministers @piyushGoyal  ji, @HardeepSPuri  ji, & @MansukhMandviya  ji on entire gamut of challenges faced by the industry as well as strategies to boost pharma export," Gowda tweeted.

During the same period, exports of formulations made from hydroxychloroquine was at USD 5.50 billion.
