With Delhi polls 100 days away, AAP and BJP lock horns over 'health model'

Quick Summary:

According to a 2021 study, Elderly in India, by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, the elderly (those above 60 years of age) comprised 5.2 per cent of Delhi's the population in 2001, which increased to 6.8 per cent in 2011, and was estimated to be 9.3 per cent, or almost 2 million, in 2021.

Modi had lamented that governments in Delhi and West Bengal have refused to roll out the scheme, and “apologised” to all the elderly aged 70 and above in the two states.

The AAP, which has ruled Delhi continuously since 2015, has projected its affordable “health model”, comprising primary health clinics, polyclinics and super-speciality hospitals, as a success story.
