While addressing a public meeting in Kerala’s Guruvayur, Prime Minister Narendra Modi requested Left-ruled Kerala government to implement Ayushman Bharat Yojana in the state. PM said, “Kerala government has refused to connect with Ayushman Bharat Yojana. Today I publicly request them to allow the residents of Kerala the benefits of this scheme.”
Ayushman Bharat Yojana is a Centrally-sponsored scheme launched in 2018, which aims to address healthcare issues by providing coverage up to Rs 5 lakh to the needy.
The PM said political parties and pundits failed to gauge the public mood ahead of the Lok Sabha election and thanked the electorate for reposing confidence in BJP.
