BJP leader and medical professional Dr Nandini lashes out on Kejriwal government for non-implementation of Ayushman Bharat

Op India  

Delhi Health Minister Satyendra Jain yesterday said that the Delhi government will not allow Ayushman Bharat Yojana to be implemented. Reacting to Kejriwal’s flippant attitude, BJP leader and a medical professional Dr Nandini Sharma lashed out on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for his callous attitude. Her Facebook post is published in its entirety below: In what yet again exposes how the Delhi chief minister, Arvind Kejriwal is an imprudent leader who is worried only about earning political brownie points and not the welfare of the citizenry, he has decided to pull out from the Centre’s Ayushman Bharat scheme. It is shocking that in order to ensure that the Centre is not able to take credit for the healthcare scheme, Kejriwal has dictatorially decided to deprive the people of Delhi of free healthcare services.What added insult to the injury was the fact that Delhi Health Minister used a healthcare scheme to take potshots at Uttar Pradesh. Even Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the Director-General of the World Health Organisation applauded PM Modi and erstwhile Union Health Minister J P Nadda for their visionary and exemplary leadership.It is now being speculated that the expanse of this scheme is bound to increase as PM Modi is planning to expand the coverage of the health insurance scheme — Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana, also known as Ayushman Bharat, which presently covers the bottom 40 per cent of Indians to more than 75 per cent of the total population.
