People of Delhi may soon get big news regarding Ayushman Yojana. Under the Ayushman scheme in Delhi, treatment up to Rs 5 lakh can be given the green signal. The Delhi High Court has asked the Delhi Government to proceed with the agreement with the Central Government’s Health Ministry in which funds have been allocated from the Center to improve health services. These funds were allocated to various states so that they could improve their basic health services and treat people under the Ayushman scheme.

But since the Ayushman scheme is not applicable in Delhi, and taking money under this scheme would have forced the Delhi government to allow treatment to people under the Ayushman scheme, it is believed that to avoid this, the Delhi government has taken steps till now. She was refusing to move ahead with this plan. But the court has made it clear that now the Delhi government will have to move ahead with this plan. There can be no compromise on people’s healthcare. According to the information, the Delhi government has been instructed to move ahead with this scheme even if the code of conduct is imposed.
BJP was attacking the Delhi government for not implementing Ayushman Yojana in Delhi. His allegation was that the Arvind Kejriwal-Atishi Marlena government is not allowing the Ayushman scheme to be implemented in Delhi, due to which the people of Delhi are suffering huge economic loss as people are being deprived of treatment worth up to Rs 5 lakh. BJP alleged that Kejriwal government does not want to allow this scheme to be implemented only because of political rivalry as BJP is expected to benefit from it.
The uproar over the Ayushman scheme had even reached the court’s doorstep, where the court had asked the Delhi government as to what objection it had to the implementation of the Ayushman scheme. However, the Delhi government was continuously arguing that it had better alternative plans. There is a restriction of age and income limit in Ayushman Yojana, whereas there is no restriction for getting treatment in Delhi government hospitals.
