In April 2015, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar offered Baba Ramdev the status of a state cabinet minister. Ramdev, a resourceful holy man for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ruling Haryana and the country, declined the offer.
Officials from Nepal's health department also cited the observations made by the Indian Medical Association (IMA) recently against Coronil where they had challenged Ramdev to prove its efficacy.
The Nepal's Department of Ayurveda and Alternative Medicines in an order said proper procedure was not followed while procuring the 1,500 kits of Coronil. However, the health ministry clarified that there is no formal ban on Patanjali products.
