The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) delivered on its promise of free healthcare in Punjab by introducing the ‘Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojna’ (MMSY). This scheme offers free treatment of up to Rs 10 lakh to every family in the state, making expensive private hospitals accessible to all, not just the wealthy. Punjab, under the AAP government, now leads as the first state in India to ensure free healthcare, education, electricity, and bus travel for women.
National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal emphasized that only AAP could ensure a secure future for Punjab, criticizing other power-hungry opposition parties. During the launch event, Kejriwal and Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann distributed Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojna cards to eligible beneficiaries. Kejriwal highlighted the historical significance of the day, stating that the initiatives undertaken in Punjab should have been implemented long ago.
Kejriwal expressed disappointment in previous governments for not fulfilling their promises to the public over the past 75 years. He underscored the importance of providing quality healthcare to all citizens, citing the establishment of 1,000 Mohalla Clinics in just four years under the current government. Chief Minister Mann emphasized that the scheme, inspired by the teachings of Gurus, aims to benefit every segment of society without any income restrictions.
