Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday hit out at Delhi and West Bengal governments on Tuesday for not implementing the Ayushman Bharat health insurance scheme due to “political interests” and said he was pained that the elderly in these places cannot avail free treatment under the expanded programme.
PM Modi on Tuesday extended his government’s flagship health insurance scheme Ayushman Bharat to all senior citizens aged 70 years and above.
“I apologise to all the elderly aged 70 and above in Delhi and West Bengal that I cannot serve them. I would get to know about your pains and sufferings but I won’t be able to help you,” Modi said.
“The reason is that the governments in Delhi and West Bengal are not joining the scheme due to their political interests,” he stated, adding the tendency to be oppressive against the sick people of one’s own state for political interests does not align with the idea of humanity.
