Jyoti Mirdha

Jyoti Mirdha (born 26 July 1972) is an Indian politician.

She was elected to the 15th Lok Sabha (2009-2014) from the Nagaur (Lok Sabha constituency) as a Congress party candidate.

Mirdha joined Bharatiya Janata Party in September 2023.

She won the seat by a margin of 1.55-lakh votes in 2009.

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."

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.

Jyoti Mirdha represented the Nagaur parliamentary constituency in the 15th Lok Sabha and is a member of the Bhartiya Janta Party BJP.
