Arvind Kejriwal, Bhagwant Mann Launch Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojna, Fulfill AAP Health Guarantees In Punjab

New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) fulfiled its promise of free healthcare in Punjab as National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal and Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann launched the ‘Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojna’ (MMSY) in Mohali, extending free treatment of up to ₹10 lakh to every family in the state. With the scheme now in force, even the most expensive private hospitals previously accessible only to the wealthy are opened to the poor, marking a decisive shift in public welfare delivery.

What are the achievements of the AAP government of Punjab?

Punjab, under the AAP government, now becomes the first state in the country to guarantee free healthcare, free education, free electricity, and free bus travel for women, while Arvind Kejriwal asserts that power-hungry opposition parties remain consumed by internal battles, and that only the AAP can secure a safe future for Punjab. On this occasion, AAP Convenor Arvind Kejriwal and CM Bhagwant Singh Mann handed over Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojna cards to some of the eligible beneficiaries.

What was the message of AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal?

During the launch of the Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojna, AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal said that today is not just a big and historic day for Punjab, but for the entire country. “The work that is going to be done in Punjab today should perhaps have been done back in 1950. All those who fought for independence did not struggle so that one day the British would leave and our own governments would be formed, only for those governments to do nothing for the people,” he said.

The AAP Supremo said that over the past 75 years, many governments came and went, but none of them truly cared for the people. Big promises were made, but the public was neglected. He said there was a time when Punjab was plagued by severe terrorism, and then came a phase when drugs were rampant. “But everything has its time. The phase that Punjab has been going through for the past four years will be written in golden letters in the history of Punjab and the country,” he added.

What are ‘Kejriwal’s Guarantees’?

Referring to the promises made during elections, Arvind Kejriwal said that when he and CM Bhagwant Mann went campaigning, they used to give guarantees. At that time, they spoke of “Kejriwal’s Guarantees,” one of which was a health guarantee, that free and quality healthcare would be provided for every person and every citizen of Punjab. “People did not believe it back then,” he said.

The AAP Supremo continued, “In those days, the Congress government was in power. First, Captain Amarinder Singh was the CM, and then Charanjit Singh Channi. They used to say that the treasury was empty, the government was running in deficit, and there was no money.”

“They said that Arvind Kejriwal was roaming around spreading lies about free electricity, free healthcare, and free education, and that none of this was possible because there was no money. But the AAP government proved that all the guarantees could indeed be fulfilled,” he added.

Arvind Kejriwal said that today, electricity is being provided for free and good schools are being built. “Free healthcare arrangements had been started earlier, but today’s step is a very big one. In the past four years, the government has built around 1,000 mohalla clinics located in villages and neighborhoods,” he asserted.
