Speaking on the occasion, Lekhi said before 2014, there was no guarantee of anything but under the leadership of PM Modi, today there is a guarantee that there will be no theft.
On the Centre’s health scheme, Ayushman Bharat, she said under the same the government has given a health guarantee of up to ₹ 5 lakh to the entire family and more than 55 crore people are covered under this scheme.
She hit out at the Delhi government for not implementing such an important healthcare scheme simply because it is not in the interest of the Delhi government. She, however, stressed the need to make people aware of the schemes so that they can take advantage of it.
Speaking to the people, she informed them about several other schemes of the Central government that were aimed at benefitting the people and development.
