BJP government has been formed in Delhi. 50 -year -old Rekha Gupta, who won the assembly elections from Shalimar Bagh, has been made the new Chief Minister of Delhi. Yesterday i.e. on 20 February, he was sworn in as Chief Minister. The BJP is returning to power in Delhi after 27 years. Many schemes will be started for the people of Delhi as soon as the BJP government is formed.
Which has not been implemented yet. The people of Delhi did not get the benefit of the central government's Pradhan Mantri Ayushman Yojana. All Delhiites will get an opportunity to get free treatment up to Rs 10 lakh under the Prime Minister Ayushman Bharat Yojana if the BJP government is formed. Let us tell you how earlier the people of Delhi used to get health benefits.
Even though the Central Government's Ayushman Bharat Yojana was not implemented in Delhi. But it is not that the people of Delhi are no longer getting health services. Let us tell you that instead of Ayushman Yojana in Delhi, the state government used to provide free treatment to the needy people under the Delhi Arogya Fund. Under this scheme, people will be able to get their treatment in all government and private hospitals in Delhi.
If there is a waiting period of more than 30 days, then under the government's free surgery scheme, there was an opportunity for free surgery in private hospitals. The scheme was sponsored by the state. Apart from this, Mohalla clinics are being run by the Delhi government. Where absolutely free treatment was given. In which medicines were given free of cost and checks were also done free of cost.
As soon as the Ayushman scheme is implemented in Delhi, Delhiites will get double benefits. Such will be a double advantage because free treatment of up to Rs 5 lakh is being given under the Ayushman scheme in the rest of the country. So under the Ayushman scheme in Delhi, you will get an opportunity for free treatment up to Rs 10 lakh. Because before winning the election, the BJP had announced in its resolution letter that the BJP will give double benefit to the people of Delhi if the government is formed in Delhi.
