In the run-up to the Delhi elections, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh unveiled the party’s flagship 'Jeevan Raksha Yojana,' highlighting it as a cornerstone of their campaign. Speaking at a press conference, Ramesh emphasized the scheme's focus on providing universal access to healthcare and addressing the essential needs of Delhi's citizens.
Under the slogan, “Milegi Swasth Suraksha, hogi har zaroorat puri” (Health security assured, every need fulfilled), the Congress party aims to connect with voters by addressing their primary concerns. Ramesh stated, “The Jeevan Raksha Yojana is not just a promise; it is our commitment to building a healthier and more equitable society in Delhi.”
Key features of the scheme include:
- Affordable and accessible healthcare facilities for all.
- Subsidized medications and treatments for underprivileged families.
- Expansion of primary healthcare centers across the city.
- Programs to provide essential commodities to low-income households.
Jairam Ramesh further pointed out that the scheme is designed to tackle the rising healthcare costs and bridge the gap between demand and supply for essential services in the national capital. He assured voters that the Congress party is committed to addressing their concerns through pragmatic and inclusive policies.
The announcement has drawn attention as Congress seeks to strengthen its position in the Delhi elections. While critics have questioned the financial feasibility of the scheme, the party maintains that it will be funded through a reallocation of resources and transparent governance.
With the 'Jeevan Raksha Yojana,' Congress is pitching itself as a people-centric party, hoping to reclaim its influence in Delhi politics. As the election campaign intensifies, the scheme is expected to be a focal point of the party's outreach efforts.
