Today's day will be remembered: BJP's Yogender Chandolia after Ayushman Bharat scheme rolled out in Delhi

BJP rolls out PM-JAY healthcare scheme, providing free medical coverage to 225,000 Delhi families

"Today's day will be remembered because lakhs of people got the Pradhan Mantri Ayushman Yojana card - Yogender Chandolia"

New Delhi, April 10

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Yogender Chandolia on Thursday extended his wishes to the residents of Delhi after the Ayushman Bharat scheme was rolled out in the national capital.

Speaking to ANI, Chandolia said, "Congratulations to the people of Delhi... Today's day will be remembered because lakhs of people got the Pradhan Mantri Ayushman Yojana card today."

BJP MP Manoj Tiwari from North East Delhi constituency asserted that the newly formed government will open 1,100 health centres in the national capital.

"The people of Delhi are going to get such benefits that even imagining them will make a person happy... We are going to open 1100 health centres in Delhi in the next year... We have already identified 225,000 families for the Ayushman scheme... 'Kyunki Modi hai toh mumkin hai'," Tiwari told ANI.

Delhi Health Minister Pankaj Kumar Singh said, "... We are progressing towards our target. We are getting support from the double-engine government... Our deadline for completing challenges is not five years. We keep our deadlines every 100 days..."

JP Nadda, along with Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, distributed the Ayushman cards to beneficiaries in the national capital on Thursday.

Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY, launched on 23rd September 2018, has been a game-changer in healthcare, mainly for the millions of poor and vulnerable families across the country. In just five years, it enabled them with timely access and quality healthcare without burdening them with catastrophic health expenditure during medical emergencies.

Addressing the public during the event, Nadda said, "Delhi was going through a dark chapter for seven years when 36 lakh eligible people were deprived of their rights. You should be compelled to think about how your rights are violated when a poor government is in power and that when a good government comes to power, you get your rights within 50 days."

Nadda further expressed confidence that his party would win in West Bengal, the only state where the Ayushman Bharat Yojana has not been implemented yet.

"Three states had refused to implement Ayushman. The first was Odisha, where the previous government lost power, and then the lotus bloomed. The same happened in Delhi. Now, only West Bengal is left, where the lotus will bloom, and the current government will lose power," Nadda said.

While the scheme is good, I wish the announcement focused more on implementation details rather than political rhetoric. Healthcare shouldn't be politicized.

My cousin in Rajasthan got treatment worth ₹2 lakh under Ayushman Bharat. Game changer for middle class families! Hope Delhi hospitals are prepared for the increased patient load.

1100 health centers sounds ambitious! Hope they focus on quality over quantity. We need sustainable healthcare infrastructure, not just numbers for election campaigns.

'Kyunki Modi hai toh mumkin hai' - catchy slogan but let's see actual results on ground. The scheme is good but implementation is key. Fingers crossed!

As someone who works in healthcare, I've seen Ayushman Bharat transform lives in rural areas. Hope Delhi's rollout is smooth! 🤞
