NMDC Clears Resolution on Sanjeevani Scheme
Hindustan Times Gurugram|December 27, 2024
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) members of the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) on Thursday passed a resolution condemning Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener Arvind Kejriwal for not implementing the central government's Ayushman Bharat—a national public health insurance scheme—in the Capital, and for allegedly "misinforming people" about the AAP government's Sanjeevani Yojana scheme.

NEW DELHI:

The BJP also said that they have sent a proposal to the council's legal department to examine if Kejriwal—an ex-officio member by virtue of being the New Delhi legislator—can be removed as a member for not attending four consecutive meetings of the civic body, and for not taking oath as a member.

In response, the AAP claimed that the Delhi government allocates ₹9,000 crore annually on its residents, while the entire country's budget under Ayushman Bharat is only ₹7,200 crore. Party leaders also said that Kejriwal's removal as an NDMC member is "untenable".
