Bhubaneswar, Apr 12 (UNI) The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) has demanded that all 4.5 crore residents of Odisha be included under the Ayushman Bharat scheme.
BJD spokesperson Dr. Lekhashree Samantsinghar stated that before the upcoming Rath Yatra, every resident of Odisha must be covered by the Ayushman Bharat scheme.
She said if the state BJP government ensures the inclusion of every Odia in the scheme before the Rath Yatra, and provides free healthcare benefits of Rs.10 lakhs for men and Rs.15 lakhs for women, only then can the so-called “Double Engine Government” claim to be genuinely working in the interest of the people of Odisha.
