Anbumani Ramadoss and his politics

Mr.Anbumani Ramadoss has been making news(good and bad) always ever since he took over as Health Minister of GOI (Government of India).

Whenever he is silent ,he always makes a statement regarding smoking and drinking to attract media attention towards him and he uses media very well to project him and his party as a good one to garner political mileage in his home state.

First when he took the decision of banning smoking in  public places ,I thought it was a good one and it would help reduce smokers ruining their life and other’s.But the ban is only on papers and I still find people smoking in public places without fear.He would list this as one of his achievements but in real the ban has not been enforced till date.

What he has done as Health minister in the last 4 years?

To my knowledge he has done nothing other than coming out and speaking against smoking and drinking.Life expectancy in India has not improved much and infant mortality rates are still high in tribal and remote areas.We still have  very poor infrastructure when compared to other developing nations and also there is a lot of corruption in the system.He has not done anything towards these important issues. He is always trying to garner political mileage by speaking about smoking and drinking.

I hope India would get a good health minister in Future (not him definitely).
