“Historic Step in Public Healthcare”
During the press conference, CM Bhagwant Mann explained how the Punjab government is providing annual health coverage of up to ₹10 lakh to its citizens. He said the scheme is creating history by ensuring that people can access quality medical treatment without worrying about financial burden.
According to the Chief Minister, the scheme has become a topic of discussion even in Gujarat, as it represents one of the world’s largest free health insurance programmes aimed at protecting public health.
Mann’s Strong Message from Gujarat
From Gujarat’s soil, CM Mann issued a strong political message, asserting that welfare-oriented governance can bring real change in people’s lives. He emphasised that every citizen of Punjab is entitled to equal healthcare facilities under the scheme, regardless of background or income.
Mentions Free Electricity, Farmers’ Welfare
Apart from healthcare, CM Mann also spoke about free electricity in Punjab, saying that residents are enjoying zero electricity bills for households and agricultural use. He highlighted facilities provided to farmers, equal employment opportunities, and the government’s efforts for women and students.
While addressing these issues, CM Mann also criticised what he described as anti-people conditions in certain BJP-led schemes, indirectly taking aim at the Gujarat government’s policies.
Punjab Model as an Example
The Punjab Chief Minister presented his government’s initiatives as a model of governance, arguing that public welfare schemes like free healthcare and electricity are not burdens, but investments in social security and human development.
The press conference once again brought CM Bhagwant Mann into the national spotlight, with his outspoken style and welfare-focused agenda drawing attention beyond Punjab.
