JAMMU, Sept 20: Senior BJP leader and former Deputy Chief Minister, Kavinder Gupta today said that BJP Government led by PM, Narendra Modi gave impetus to health sector in the country by bringing revolutionary Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY), which is a guarantee to good health of all the citizens.
The BJP leader was addressing a gathering during a medical camp organized as part of Sewa Pakhwada by party’s Satwari Mandal, here at Satwari. Vinay Gupta, district president was also present.
Kavinder said that credit of bringing world’s largest Government funded health assurance scheme Ayushman Bharat goes to PM Modi as he envisaged and implemented this public friendly initiative impeccably giving number of benefits to the people as far as health sector is concerned. He asked the public to go for this scheme and avail maximum benefit as this is testimony to the fact that Modi Government is meant for all without any discrimination. He said that this scheme provides health assurance of up to Rs.5 lakh per family per year for secondary and tertiary healthcare hospitalizations with no cap on family size, or age or gender.
The former Deputy Chief Minister said that this is truly a philanthropic initiative of PM Modi which has no match whatsoever as the same is changing lives for good of all.
The senior BJP functionary said that AB-PMJAY is a completely cashless and paperless scheme and the benefits under this scheme are portable across the country.
Kavinder said that Modi Government characteristics include rendering selfless service, good governance and welfare of poor and these have made this dispensation different from all the successive ones as people are availing endless benefits of the schemes brought in for them through critical planning and hard work. He said that scrapping Article 370 was the biggest step of Modi Government in the direction to bail out J&K from the ongoing morass of over seventy years and therefore people should extend wholehearted support to BJP to continue the spree of development and good governance in J&K and elsewhere.
