Delhi assembly polls: Congress promises ₹25 lakh health insurance scheme

Ahead of the Delhi assembly polls, Congress on Wednesday announced a healthcare scheme ‘Jeevan Raksha Yojana’ as part of its election manifesto.

Senior Congress leader and former Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot introduced the proposed scheme and stated that the initiative will be modelled after the Chiranjeevi scheme from Rajasthan, which was launched during his tenure. The scheme will provide free of cost medical treatment in Delhi through universal health insurance of up to ₹25 lakh.
