Prakash Rai hints at forming a Political alternative
Mangaluru : People have seen Congress, JDS, BJP or CPIM during the last 70 years and they are disillusioned with them and feel that none of the mainstream parties are true to people. People know what truth is, what Dharma is, right or wrong. They are looking for a new young leader. I am in touch with likeminded people to complement the efforts for a new political alternative, Prakash Rai said in a news conference
Instead of parties with ‘ High command culture, regional leaders should emerge. The leaders should articulate the aspirations of the local people. Several people have joined hands with me in this endeavor. In the next few months I will hold discussions with like-minded people towards this and initiate a new peoples movement, he said.
'BJP people are frustrated by my straight and sharp questioning. They may even throw dung on me, intelligence reports have cautioned me in this regard. I am least bothered about these tactics. Anyway,they throw what is in their head..!’ He sarcastically said.
Let the Truth be known. If you read VB and like VB, please be a VB Supporter and Help us deliver the Truth to one and all.
Health Minister warns hospital staff against sending patients to nearby pharmacies
Bengaluru: Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao has cautioned hospital personnel against directing patients to nearby pharmacies for prescribed medicines, despite an adequate supply being available in the hospital.
In a post on his 'X' account on Tuesday, the minister stated that the Karnataka government is working to eliminate 'unnecessary' pharmacies near government hospitals. He wrote, "Necessary action has been taken against medical staff who ask patients to get medicines from private pharmacies instead of providing them free medicines at the hospital. Making free medicines available to patients at all primary health centres, community health centres, taluk, and district hospitals in the state is the primary objective of our government."
Discussing medical supplies, Rao said that the government has already successfully addressed issues related to tendering processes. With the necessary drug supply to all government hospitals rising to 70 to 80 percent, the government aims to ensure this supply level reaches 100 percent. The list of medicines available in hospitals has expanded from around 300 to over 1,000, and all these medicines will be provided to patients free of cost, he assured.
"No patient should be denied medication at a hospital, as our government is focused on providing free health facilities. We have implemented the special 'Gruha Arogya' programme for this purpose. Diabetic patients and those with high blood pressure will receive free medicines, which will be delivered to their homes," the health minister stated.
