Delhi to implement Ayushman Bharat, to table 14 pending CAG reports

The BJP formed its government in Delhi on Thursday after more than 26 years, approved the implementation of Ayushman Bharat Yojana in its first Cabinet meeting. Addressing a press conference soon after the Cabinet meeting, the chief minister announced allocation of portfolios among the newly appointed ministers and said that 14 pending CAG reports will be tabled in the first session of the Delhi Assembly.
While Gupta has kept with her finance, services, vigilance, revenue, and women and child development, among other departments, her Cabinet colleague Parvesh Verma has been allotted PWD, water, legislative affairs, irrigation and flood control, and gurdwara elections portfolios. Ashish Sood got home, power, education, and urban development, among other departments. She said that not a single day will be wasted in realising the mission of "Viksit Delhi" and assured that the new BJP government will fulfil all the promises made to people of the national capital. Gupta said the previous AAP government did not allow the Ayusman Bharat scheme in the city, preventing the people from availing its benefits. The chief minister also announced the portfolios of her and Cabinet ministers.
She has kept a total of 10 portfolios, the highest among her Cabinet ministers, with finance, services, vigilance, revenue, women and child development among other departments. The CM said that her Cabinet colleague Parvesh Verma was given charge of PWD, water, legislative affairs, irrigation and flood control, while Ashish Sood got home, power, urban development and education portfolios.
Kapil Mishra got law and justice, labour and employment, and tourism, while his cabinet colleague Manjinder Singh Sirsa received industries, forest and environment, food and supply departments. Pankaj Singh was allocated health, transport and information technology departments, while Ravinder Indraj got social welfare, SC & ST welfare, cooperative and elections.
The Mahila Samriddhi Yojna promising Rs 2,500 per month to eligible women every month was also discussed in the Cabinet meeting, the chief minister said, adding that further discussion on the scheme was required as the payments to the women can not be done without putting in place a system for their registration. "They will have to give an account for each and every penny to the people," Gupta said about the AAP. "Fulfilling the dream of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the responsibility of all 48 BJP MLAs in the capital," she added.
