Thu Feb 20 16:11:24 UTC 2025: ## Delhi’s New Government to Implement Ayushman Bharat, Unveil Delayed CAG Reports
**New Delhi –** Delhi’s newly elected Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has announced the immediate implementation of the Ayushman Bharat healthcare scheme, fulfilling a key election promise. The scheme, a nationwide initiative launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, will receive a significant boost in Delhi with the state government adding a ₹5 lakh top-up to the existing coverage. This move follows the previous Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government’s alleged delay in implementing the program.
In a further move likely to escalate political tensions, CM Gupta also revealed that 14 Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) reports, previously delayed, will now be presented to the Delhi Assembly. Speaking after her first cabinet meeting, Gupta stated that the AAP government’s inaction prevented Delhi residents from accessing Ayushman Bharat benefits. The implementation of the scheme, she added, will commence following the completion of necessary formalities. The release of the previously delayed CAG reports promises to be a significant development in the ongoing political discourse within the capital.
