Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva accused AAP’s Delhi convener Saurabh Bharadwaj of spreading misinformation to divert attention from health and education department scandals during the Arvind Kejriwal government. Sachdeva countered Bharadwaj’s claim that the BJP was rebranding health centers as Ayushman Arogya Mandirs, stating that the upgraded dispensaries under the current government offer comprehensive healthcare services.
Bharadwaj, a former Health Minister, was criticized for limiting services at Mohalla Clinics to minor ailments and alleged scams. Sachdeva highlighted the BJP government’s efforts to link dispensaries to the Ayushman scheme, converting them into 51 operational Arogya Mandirs within a year. The BJP President emphasized this as a significant achievement.
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta inaugurated 51 new Ayushman Arogya Mandirs to enhance Delhi’s healthcare system, bringing the total to 370 in just 8 months. Gupta stressed the government’s commitment to accessible healthcare. Additionally, development projects worth Rs 322 crore were launched in the Chhatarpur Assembly constituency, focusing on infrastructure and civic amenities.
