Pathankot ex-MLA Amit Vij criticised Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann for introducing the health insurance scheme called the ‘Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojna’ saying that the state government had no money to adopt such a concept.

The Punjab Government had recently launched the scheme, which is a Rs 10-lakh health cover for all residents of the state, irrespective of income.

“The insurance scheme will fall flat on its face. From where will the government bring the money to substantiate it? This is yet another false promise. Instead of launching this concept, the CM should have focused on developing better facilities in civil hospitals and Aam Aadmi Mohalla Clinics across the state.”

The ex-legislator said it was a good initiative but the government had not kept aside a specific budget for it. “The AAP government has faltered once again,” he said.
