MUMBAI: Maharashtra Leader of Opposition Devendra Fadnavis has alleged the state government was harassing a supplier of Remdesivir from neighbouring union territory Daman because BJP leaders had approached him for supply of the antiviral medication to the state.
Speaking to reporters late on Saturday night, Fadnavis said: Daman-based Bruck Pharma Pvt Ltd was one of the exporters of Remdesivir, whom we (BJP leaders) had contacted to supply the stock to Maharashtra as the state is facing shortage of Remdesivir vials. We have even informed the state FDA minister (Rajendra Shingne) about it and approached the union government seeking necessary permissions.

Coronavirus: Neighbouring states unable to supply oxygen to Maharashtra, says health minister
A day earlier, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray had sought the Air Force’s help to tackle an oxygen supply shortage.
Maharashtra Health Minister Rajesh Tope on Wednesday said that the state government had approached its neighbouring states for medical oxygen supply, but they were not able to help because of its increased demand, PTI reported.
“We have approached all the neighbouring states like Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat to supply oxygen for medical purpose, but owing to their own rising demand, these states have expressed their inability to supply oxygen,” Tope told reporters in Mumbai. “Hence, Maharashtra needs to reduce its wastage and work on fixing its leakages [wherever found].”
