Former Delhi CM and AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal defended the Delhi healthcare model, calling it superior to Ayushman Bharat. "According to CAG, there are many scams in Ayushman Bharat Yojana...in Delhi, every kind of treatment is free, and our treatment is not limited to ₹5 lakhs," he said. Kejriwal's comments followed PM Modi's criticism of Delhi's non-implementation of the scheme.
