  • Salman Khurshid Praises Aayushman Bharat Scheme

Senior Congress leader Salman Khurshid here on Tuesday praised the Aayushman Bharat scheme saying it must get everyone's support.


"This is a great initiative for poor as well as middle class. Everyone should support the scheme. This is a good scheme that must get support from every person," Khurshid said speaking at the 15th meeting of the Finance Commission.
