Kejriwal not adopting health scheme fearing Modi's popularity: Shah


New Delhi, Sep 28 (IANS): BJP President Amit Shah on Friday slammed Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for not adopting the Centre's Ayushman Bharat scheme, claiming he feared it will increase Prime Minister Narendra Modi's popularity among the people.

"... the Delhi government has started a non-cooperation movement. They may have taken inspiration from Mahatma Gandhi, but they may not have known that it is not the British government but a patriot Modi government at the Centre," Shah said after inaugurating a party office in central Delhi's Karol Bagh area.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader also accused the Kejriwal government of stalling development in the national capital by doing "cheap politics".

"What is the reason that the Ayushman Bharat scheme has not been launched in the city?" Shah questioned.

He said that Kejriwal deprived over one-and-a-half crore people in Delhi of the benefits of the healthcare scheme.

He said that those residing in clusters or unauthorised colonies in Delhi will not get the benefits of the Ayushman Bharat scheme due to Kejriwal's vote-bank politics.

"They are giving excuse that they have built Mohalla Clinics. But can these provide treatment for cancer, stents for heart surgery, knee replacements?"

Taking a dig at the Chief Minister, Shah said that "Kejriwal should first get himself treated at any Mohalla Clinic to come across the reality."

He said that the city's voters would set the account right in 2019. "You should not blame the EVMs (electronic voting machines) then," Shah said.

Attacking Congress President Rahul Gandhi and Kejriwal, Shah said that they feel pain only on issues such as implementation of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam and action against Maoists in the country.

"They are pained when we take action to identify illegal immigrants and against Maoist elements. But we are pained when anti-India slogans are raised," Shah said.

He asserted that the BJP government will identify and expel every illegal immigrant from the country after the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

    Again that scheme is to fool poor. He knows that 75% are poor in India. Instead of that scheme he must stop giving treatment in foreign countries for rich and Politicians. And all MPs MLAs and govt servants must take treatment in government hospitals only and take Generic medicines.

    Modi's popularity?? Only dumb bakths he is an hero but to others he is a big zero. AAP government is doing wonderful job in Delhi with limited resources. Delhi should be given complete statehood status and then it will be number one state. No other state in India can match with Delhi with regard to education, medical, essential services to common man and door to door government services. This shows that we need educated MLA's or MP's like Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and other AAP stalwarts.

Amit Shah is a big goonda and he is BJP president. What a tragedy.

    The AAP, under Mr Kejriwal, set up the Mohalla clinics to benefit the poor people.

    These clinics provide medicines, diagnostics, and consultation free of cost. It is considered a great success, and have attracted attention from many foreign countries.

    It was an India first initiative. But for reasons perfectly understandable, the Central Government did not praise the great initiative at all.

    But what the Central Government is coming up is ways to benefit BIG businesses.

    If one goes by the numbers, it will cost something like 54 lakh crores! Many analysts think it is not a workable solution, and has been flaunted just to attract the gullible illiterate public (read the residents of BIMARU-Guj belt).

    Thankfully the AAP does not go to buy this 'pie in the sky' scheme of the Gujju-bhai.

    What AAP has done in the health care for Delhi is appreciated world wide. If foreign dignitaries had personally visited and were very happy. In spite of BJP dirty and LG dirty tricks he overcame the resistance and implemented. You and your Feku don’t show your jumla here.
