Why then, Ayushman Bharat scheme is not allowed here? Mamata Ji, stop doing politics on rights of poor. You can do politics on lot of other issues, but why on poors' health,” said Union Home Minister Amit Shah. “People across the country are availing benefits of Ayushman Bharat Yojana, even Arvind Kejriwal accepted it in the end but Mamata didi, why are you not letting this scheme be implemented in West Bengal. I & the people of Bengal want to ask you this,” he further added.
