Senior Citizens Over 70 to Benefit from Ayushman Bharat Scheme: Tandon

Solan: At the BJP Solan Mandal membership drive workshop, BJP’s State Co-Incharge Sanjay Tandon praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s commitment to implementing his promises. Tandon emphasized that Modi’s administration has approved extending the Ayushman Bharat scheme to include senior citizens over the age of 70, offering up to ₹5 lakh in free treatment annually. This move is expected to benefit around six crore senior citizens and 4.5 crore families.

He also criticized efforts in Himachal Pradesh to obstruct schemes like Ayushman Bharat and Him Care, urging the state government to learn from PM Modi’s example and enhance public service.
