Delhi chief minister Rekhta Gupta said the cabinet also approved the tabling of 14 pending CAG reports, which were not presented by the previous government.
Delhi chief minister Rekhta Gupta, in her first cabinet meeting on Thursday, approved the implementation of Ayushman Bharat scheme with ₹5 lakhs top-up and tabling of 14 CAG reports in the first seating of the Assembly.
“We discussed and passed two major agendas. The first was the Ayushman Bharat Yojana, which the previous government had blocked. Prime Minister Modi introduced this scheme for the entire nation, but due to the Aam Aadmi Party government, it could not be implemented in the capital. With a ₹5 lakh top-up from the Delhi government, the scheme will now be implemented,” said the chief minister while addressing the media.
She added that the second agenda of the cabinet meeting was the CAG reports, as 14 of them were pending and were not tabled by the previous government in the Delhi legislative assembly.
Rekha Gupta said that these reports will be tabled in the first session of the House.
“We will fulfil each of our commitments one by one and get them passed,” said the newly sworn-in Delhi chief minister.
The previous AAP government, led by former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, had opposed the implementation of the Centre’s Ayushman Bharat scheme in Delhi, saying that it would “amount to downgrading the healthcare initiatives already in place.”
