INDIA bloc will bring Rajasthan Health Model to Bihar: Ashok Gehlot
Patna: Senior Congress leader Ashok Gehlot announced on Monday that the 'Rajasthan model of health care' will be replicated in Bihar if the INDIA bloc comes to power following the upcoming assembly polls this year.
The former Rajasthan chief minister came up with the promise at a press conference in Sadaqat Ashram, the BPCC headquarters, where AICC in-charge for Bihar Krishna Allavaru and state Congress president Rajesh Kumar were also present.
Gehlot claimed that under his rule, Rajasthan bore witness to an "unparalleled health model" wherein "cent per cent people" got the benefit of free medical insurance cover, unlike the Centre’s Ayushman Bharat scheme, which "caters to only a segment of the population", news agency PTI reported.

"The Rajasthan Right to Health Act guaranteed free tests, treatment and medicines to each and every family. No other state has such a health model. If we come to power in Bihar, it will be replicated here," said the Congress leader, whose party is INDIA bloc's second largest constituent in the eastern state, where the coalition includes the RJD and the Left.
