JP Nadda
and
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta
flagged off
Ayushman Bharat registration vans
in Vigyan Bhavan in New Delhi on Sunday.
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."
Lauding
Ayushman Arogya Mandir
, Nadda targeted Aam Aadmi Mohalla Clinic and called AAP shortsighted.
"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.
Last month, on June 17, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and Ministers Parvesh Verma and Manjinder Singh Sirsa inaugurated Ayushman Arogya Mandirs in the national capital.
After the inauguration, Manjinder Singh Sirsa informed that 33 Ayushman Aarogya Mandirs were inaugurated with excellent infrastructure and facilities.
"A total of 33 Arogya Mandirs have been inaugurated today, and they have excellent infrastructure", Manjinder Singh Sirsa said.
Meanwhile on May 18, in a major boost to healthcare under the
Pradhan Mantri Vay Vandana Yojana
, Delhi Minister Ashish Sood distributed Ayushman Bharat cards to senior citizens aged 70 and above in Janakpuri, West Delhi.

Accused in Gopal Khemka murder case gunned down in encounter in Patna
Patna: An accused linked to the murder of businessman Gopal Khemka was gunned down after an encounter in Bihar capital's Malsalami locality early Tuesday morning, officials said. The accused, identified as Vikas Kumar alias Raja, allegedly accompanied the shooter, Umesh Yadav, who was directly involved in Khemka's murder on Friday night. Bihar's Special Task Force (STF) and Malsalami police conducted the raid based on information extracted from Umesh during interrogation. Earlier, police had arrested Umesh, identified as the main shooter in the case. Preliminary investigations have revealed that Vikas was involved in illegal arms trading in the Malsalami area and had sold the weapon to Umesh that was used in the murder of Khemka. According to an official, the police team reached Vikas's house around 2.45 a.m. on Tuesday, where he opened fire on the joint team. The officials of Bihar STF and Malsalami police retaliated. After a brief gunfight, the accused was neutralised. 'So far, we have detained two individuals and arrested the main shooter in the Gopal Khemka case. Our investigation indicates that an individual had taken a contract of Rs 10 lakh to kill Khemka and subcontracted it to Umesh for Rs 1 lakh,' a senior police officer said, adding that further details will be shared as the investigation progresses. Businessman Gopal Khemka was shot dead in Patna on Friday night, triggering shock and concern among the business community and raising questions about the law and order situation in the state capital. The high-profile murder case put the Nitish Kumar government in a spot at a time when the ruling coalition of JD(U) and BJP is prepping for the Assembly polls. The Opposition, the RJD and Congress targeted the state government over Bihar's law and order situation. The Chief Minister met top officials after the shocking murder and asked them to complete the probe into the businessman's murder at the earliest.

Opposition parties slam AAP govt over daylight murder of Abohar bizman
Opposition parties in Punjab on Monday lashed out at the AAP government over the broad daylight murder of a businessman by some unknown bikers in Abohar. Punjab BJP chief Sunil Jakhar said the killing was an 'eerie reminder' of Punjab's law and order collapsing. (HT File) The parties termed the killing another reminder that the state's law and order has 'totally collapsed' and demanded that Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann resign from the post. Earlier in the day, a businessman was shot dead in a busy market by three unknown bikers, police said. Sanjay Verma, a co-owner of the 'New Wear Well Gents Tailor' showroom, was gunned down in broad daylight near Bhagat Singh Chowk, a bustling commercial area in Abohar. Verma had just stepped out of his car near his showroom when he was shot several times. As the three assailants tried to drive away, their motorcycle skidded. They ran for some distance before they snatched another bike from a commuter and escaped. Verma was rushed to the local civil hospital, where doctors declared him brought dead. Several trade associations have called for a complete shutdown of markets in protest against the killing. Shiromani Akali Dal chief Sukhbir Singh Badal said the law and order in Punjab has 'plummeted to its lowest point.' 'The shocking daylight murder of Sanjay Verma, owner of The New Wear Well Tailors in Abohar, underscores the prevailing jungle raaj. Businessmen and professionals including doctors, artists & athletes are facing grave threats from extortionists,' he said. 'I strongly condemn this brutal killing and offer heartfelt condolences to the Verma family. The perpetrators must be arrested immediately and brought to justice,' Badal said in a post on X. Punjab BJP chief Sunil Jakhar said the killing was an 'eerie reminder' of Punjab's law and order collapsing. 'Deafening silence of the AAP government after each such killing only emboldens the gangsters. CM Bhagwant Mann must tell Punjabis who is responsible for this blot on Punjab's name. Wake up, it's already too late,' Jakhar said on X. Congress leader Partap Singh Bajwa demanded the resignation of Mann. 'CM @BhagwantMann must resign! Punjab's law and order is in shambles. The govt must hold a serious discussion on public safety in the upcoming Assembly session,' Bajwa said. Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh Raja Warring alleged that Punjab was turning into a 'gangland' under the Aam Aadmi Party's rule. Warring also referred to a doctor, Aniljit Kambhoj, being shot at in Moga to condemn the state's law and order. '... In both the incidents criminal gangs are suspected to be involved. What is the @PunjabPoliceInd doing? This calls for stringent action lest the situation gets completely out of control,' Warring said on X.

Tummala thanks residents for giving land for temple devpt
Bhadrachalam: The development of the temple, known as the Ayodhya of South, was delayed due to the land issue to bring the temple to its former glory as a temple city. The owners of the houses around the temple's Madaveedhu agreed to it and took it to the CM for the necessary funds. The funds were immediately released and the process of expanding the Madaveedhulu has begun, said Tummala Nageswara Rao, Minister of Agriculture, Marketing Cooperation and Handlooms. On Monday, he inspected the expansion works of the Madaveedhu of the Sri Seetharamachandra Swamy Temple in Bhadrachalam. Speaking on the occasion, he said that the revenue administration has worked tirelessly and made a lot of efforts to convince the owners of the houses in the Madaveedhulu, who have been residing there for many years, to acquire land for the development of the Sri Seetharamachandra Swamy Temple in Bhadrachalam. Specially congratulating them for that, he said that Telangana ministers from Khammam district, Bhatti Vikramarka, Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy, and the constituency legislators of the joint Khammam district, together brought to the attention of the CM the requirement of funds for this purpose. Immediately, Rs. 33 crore was released as the first installment for the development of the Bhadrachalam temple. There were still four families left. They were also given funds and the process of expanding the Madaveedhulu was completed and the related file was brought to the attention of the CM. He said that the work for the development of the temple will be started according to the Agama Pandits of the Endowments department. The District Collector, ITDA PO, RDO and Tahsildar collectively convinced the families residing there to expand the Madaveedhu for the development of the temple and thanked them for their cooperation in the development of the temple. He said that he had come to know that the owners of the Madaveedhulu had requested that they be provided with houses so that the families residing in the Madaveedhulu would not suffer any loss to the district administration and that they would be provided with opportunities to construct a shopping complex for their livelihood. He said that he would definitely make efforts on my behalf to construct a shopping complex and that he would definitely try to provide livelihood to those families who had cooperated in the development of the temple.
