New Delhi: AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal Friday called the Ayushman Bharat health scheme the “biggest scam” in the country after the Supreme Court stayed a high court order that had asked the Delhi government to sign an agreement with the Centre to implement it in the capital.
At a press conference where he announced AAP’s promise of free bus rides for students, including male students, and 50 per cent concession in metro rides, Kejriwal launched a scathing attack on the Centre over the scheme.
“I am happy that the Supreme Court has confirmed that it is a fake scheme. Ayushman Bharat is the biggest scam in the country. When the central government changes and an inquiry is conducted into these scams, people will realise how big a scam Ayushman Bharat truly was,” Kejriwal said, in response to a question about the Supreme Court’s decision.
