The 2019 election witnessed a society that was consuming digital technology .For the first time in the history of India's political platform the national elections were fought both on the streets and by using the smart phones and social media platforms using the digital technology .The digital media teams of the political parties in the 2019 elections played a very crucial role in trying to tip the scales in the favor of their party .The NaMo app had nearly 10 million downloads while the Shakti app of the Congress had around 70-80 lakh users. But the critics raised the question what if the party that mis-adopted the technology during 2019 is also the majority party in the house that would be responsible for designing the control mechanisms?
From 2009 to 2019, the story of Bhartiya Janata Party(ruling party) has been one of an amazing transformation .In 2014, election was fought on the grounds of economic development and not on ethnic or regional lines. But in 2019 Bhartiya Janta Party had landslide victory under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi,bringing a dramatic shift in the nature and manner of Indian electoral politics . The voting pattern during the election of 2019 witnessed a strong sense of nationalism, the need to have a strong stable government and the belief that only Narendra Modi could wear Hindutva on his sleeves.
Pradhan Mantri Jan Aushadhi Pariyojna refers to availability of quality medicines at much cheaper prices than branded medicines by Parma companies .A generic drug is a pharmaceutical drug that contains the same chemical substance as a drug that was originally protected by chemical patents. A generic drug has the same active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) as the original, but it may differ in some characteristics such as the manufacturing process, formulation, color, taste, and packaging. Therefore assessment of the functioning and productivity of PMBJP becomes a matter of research to study usage of generic medicines, their demand and eroding the myth that High price with Brand name is synomous to high quality. The factors ailing the Programmes were too much dependence on the CPSUs for supply of medicines., their limited coverage of therapeutic groups and dosages., permission from State Government to open new stores and reluctance of medical practioners to suggest generic medicines to their patients. Corruption among government officials and private pharma companies attempts to scuttle the programme ,.Unavailability and uneven distribution of medicines among the stores,poor awareness about the stores and medicines hamper the effective implementation of the Programme.Last but not the least simply formulating policy and leaving in the hands of store owners to execute does not end the responsibility, rather the government need to evaluate and reevaluate the existing problems. Media reporting, surprise check of the stores and timely supply of medicines from the companies and then to the stores should be strictly monitored.
