Bhubaneswar: After registering an emphatic win in the recently concluded elections 2024 in Odisha, the BJP is now on cloud nine and looking forward to the formation of the new government in the state.
The Odisha BJP president Manmohan Samal said that Biju Swathya Kalyan health cards will change and soon Ayushman Bharat scheme will be implemented in Odisha. The 1.5 crore Odia people staying outside will also get benefits, he said as ‘BSKY which has limited scope will be closed’.
“Common people will get 100% of Rs 5 lakh and there will be no limitation for treatment. Ayushman Bharat is a populist scheme and it will be implemented after the new government takes oath,” said Samal adding that whatever commitments made by the BJP will begin immediately after completion of the oath-taking ceremony.
More than 1 crore families, which is around 80% of the state’s population, are covered under BSKY. With this card, beneficiaries availed cashless treatment for critical illnesses in govt-empanelled private hospitals up to Rs 5 lakh for men and Rs 10 lakh for women from May 1.
