Days after announcing a monthly handout of Rs 2,100 for eligible women beneficiaries in Delhi, the Aam Aadmi Party on Wednesday came out with another scheme named- 'Sanjeevani'. The scheme entails free treatment for senior citizens at all government and private hospitals in the national capital.
Announcing the scheme, AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal said people above the age of 60 will be treated for free as part of the 'Sanjeevani Yojana' once his party retains power in the national capital. "It is now our duty to take care of you. You people have worked hard to take the country forward," the AAP supremo added.
The party is seeking a third consecutive full term in Delhi, following its landslide victory in 2020, where it won 62 out of 70 seats. The upcoming elections will serve as a test of the party's governance model.
Today's announcement for the elderly is in continuation to its outreach initiatives intended for women and elderly voters ahead of the February 2025 Assembly elections.
The AAP has released the names of its candidates for all 70 seats in the Delhi Assembly. Kejriwal has confirmed that he will contest from his New Delhi seat in the upcoming polls while Chief Minister Atishi will fight from her Kalkaji constituency.
