    Doctor by profession Harsh Vardhan is Minister of Health and Family Welfare not Ministry of Agriculture.
    If these BJP's MP's elected twice don't know whom to approach for their respective constituency problem related to arecanut issue, how do they are going solve the problems?

    When Harsh Vardhan, an ENT specialist, and a former five-time MLA can't stop the 300 children's deaths in Bihar Muzzafurpur sharing one bed for four patients and another 1000 treated for Enceplities and another 50 killed in Assam in Japnese fever, what can be expected from this zero performance minister?

    This is the reality of the PM Modi's 'Good Governance' member of parliaments.

    Public want to publish the inauguration not the photo of submission of application. All applicants are not eligible to get a post, only those who work hard and result oriented will get completed the work. Mere publicity will not work.

    Great to see that the coastal MPs are taking up the relevant issues with the respective central ministries for early resolution.
    Nothing happened over 70 years but research and Court verdict that arecanut is not carcinogenic, has given a new lifeline to millions of arecanut growers.
    These leaders are nothing less than God reincarnate.
