While Maharashtra scales new highs of COVID-19 cases every day amid crumbling health infrastructure and shortage of medicines and oxygen, a fresh controversy has erupted over the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Devendra Fadnavis trying to procure the Remdesivir drug from a firm in Daman.
The Maharashtra Police on 17 April claimed that it was probing a case of alleged ‘illegal’ export of Remdesivir by Bruck Pharma, for which, the Maharashtra BJP later claimed that due permission was obtained by the party to procure it to be donated to the Maharashtra government.
The Mumbai police, the BJP, the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) are now engaged in a war of claims and counter-claims over the controversy, with the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) calling the BJP’s claims “suspicious.”
