Career

Jyoti Mirdha represented the Nagaur Lok Sabha constituency in the 15th Lok Sabha. She won the seat with 6,10,003 votes. During these elections she was member of Indian National Congress.[3]

Mirdha has urged for stricter controls over the retail prices of pharmaceuticals, saying "Ideally, all 900 or so molecules being marketed should be brought under price control, as partial control will not be effective since manufacturers freely migrate from price-controlled drugs to those outside price control."[4][5][6]

In 2010, Mirdha also expressed concern that doctors were being bribed by pharmaceutical companies with gifts and travel. She sent evidence to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh claiming that up to 11 doctors and 30 of their family members were being reimbursed by pharmaceutical companies for summer travel to countries like England and Scotland. In her letter, she cited a loophole in a law intended to prevent doctors from accepting favours from pharmaceutical companies, which did not prevent the companies from offering these gifts.[7]
