CHANDIGARH, Feb. 11 -- The Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann on Tuesday appealed to the people of Punjab not to be misled by malicious propaganda being spread by anti-Punjab forces regarding the Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojna, a flagship healthcare programme of the state government. In a video message CM said, "The Punjab government launched this scheme to ensure that every resident of Punjab, especially the weaker sections, has direct access to quality medical treatment." Explaining the scope he adds that to provide comprehensive healthcare to the people, the state government has introduced a first-of-its-kind scheme in the country, under which every resident family in Punjab is entitled to cashless medical treatment of up to Rs 10 lakh. "The scheme aims to provide universal healthcare to all families in the state. All government employees, pensioners, and every other citizen are eligible for the health card, which can be obtained from facilitation centres and Common Service Centres, or through online registration using Aadhaar card or voter card," said Mann highlighting the universal eligibility. The scheme has received an overwhelming response as providing major relief to families who otherwise would have had to spend huge amounts for treatment in case of illness, adds the CM, while issuing a caution that some anti-Punjab forces, who do not want the people of the state to benefit from such facilities, are spreading falsehoods. Clarifying the hospital empanelment process, CM Mann said, "The state government has empanelled a majority of private hospitals under the scheme. Rates have been fixed by the government for around 2,600 ailments and treatments." CM Bhagwant Singh Mann on Tuesday urged party cadres to pull up their socks to ensure the victory of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the Punjab assembly elections in 2027, saying that the strength of the organisation and the work done by the state government would once again secure the people's mandate. Taking to X after the meeting, Mann stated that he held a meeting in Mohali with the entire party organisation, including party MLAs and chairpersons, and held detailed discussions on issues related to various constituencies. "All members were urged to work with greater strength and commitment to address people's concerns. Emphasis was also laid on ensuring that the benefits of public welfare policies effectively reach the common people," he posted. Expressing confidence about the 2027 elections, Mann said traditional parties like the BJP, Congress and the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) were trying to copy the AAP, but they were still far behind. Citing an example, he said that SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal had just learned Facebook, while they (AAP leaders) were far ahead of them. "They hire trolls, but our volunteers are our real army, the Punjab Army," he added. Urging cadres to intensify outreach, Mann told them to go to villages, cities and wards and share party programmes positively, making people aware of the marvellous work done by the state government for public welfare....
