Addressing the event, the BJP chief slammed the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for not using Rs 1700 crore under the
Ayushman Bharat Scheme
for public welfare.
He said, "Under PM-Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission, we had given Rs 1700 crore to Delhi between 2021 to February 2025, but not one penny was spent, and now the responsibility of the expenditure of this fund for the public welfare has fallen on the shoulders of (Delhi CM) Rekha ji."
Continuing his attack against AAP, he added, "We were ready to quench Delhi's thirst with water, but you kept the vessel upside down, so what could be done? On February 20, you turned up the vessel, so you got Ayushman Bharat. Prime Minister Narendra Modi was ready to provide Rs 5 lakh for the poor's healthcare since September 2, 2017. Their pride came in between. They did injustice to the poor."

"A wise man is farsighted and thinks of Ayushman Arogya Mandir, and shortsighted ones bring Mohalla Clinics. From the time a mother conceives a child to the time the child turns two, Ayushman Arogya Mandir takes care of all the vaccinations. India is playing a lead role in reproductive and child health care," JP Nadda said.

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: State Minorities Commission chairman advocate A A Rasheed has directed authorities to expedite and complete the remaining work of the Mother and Child Block at the Sree Avittam Thirunal Hospital (SAT) in Thiruvananthapuram by December 2025.

A report submitted to the Commission by the Health Department Secretary, District Collector, Director of Medical Education, Principal of the Medical College, and SAT Hospital Superintendent revealed that while the construction of two floors was completed and handed over to the hospital in 2017, only the ground floor, housing the gynaecology outpatient section, is currently in use.

CM resolves 10k grievances in 11 sessions

Bhubaneswar: Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi has resolved more than 10,000 public grievances during 11 rounds of hearings since assuming office, the CMO said on Monday. According to a statement from the Chief Minister's Office (CMO), 10,132 out of 10,894 grievances received so far have been addressed — a resolution rate of 93 per cent. The remaining cases are currently under process, it added. Accompanied by a team of seven ministers and senior officers, Majhi on Monday held the 12th session of the Chief Minister's Public Grievance Hearing since assuming office in June last year. The Chief Minister and his team heard grievances of around 1,000 people during the day, the statement said. Continuing his practice, the Chief Minister first met and heard the grievances of persons with disabilities (PwDs) before proceeding to listen to other petitioners in the chamber. 'The Chief Minister directed department secretaries present at the hearing to take immediate steps to resolve the issues raised,' the CMO stated. A single-window mechanism has been established to ensure immediate disbursement of medical assistance to patients suffering from critical and life-threatening diseases, under the Chief Minister's Relief Fund (CMRF). Majhi approved Rs 9.50 lakh in assistance for 10 persons requiring urgent medical care. So far this year, Rs 53.50 lakh has been provided to 48 beneficiaries through this streamlined process. Ministers Suresh Pujari, Mukesh Mahaling, Bibhuti Bhusan Jena, Nityananda Gond, Krushna Chandra Patra, Pradeep Bal Samanta and Ganesh Ram Singkhuntia accompanied Majhi during the session. In May, the Chief Minister had stated in a post on X that, 'In a people's government, the highest priority is given to resolving people's problems. The complaints of common people were heard at the new grievance centre at Unit-2 in Bhubaneswar. Officials have been directed to take immediate steps to resolve their problems for the benefit of the complainants.'
