Taking a dig at the previous AAP government in Delhi, Sachdeva alleged they deprived the people of the city, especially the elderly and the poor, of the beneficial health scheme.

He said soon after coming to power, the BJP government began working on the scheme and as promised to deliver the benefits of the same within 100 days of the election pledge, the BJP government has fulfilled it in just 68 days.

Sachdeva added that on top of the Rs 5 lakh coverage under the scheme, the Delhi government is providing an additional top-up of Rs five lakh.

He assured that the Rekha Gupta government would ensure that all small and large hospitals in Delhi accept this card within a year.
