Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on International Women’s Day interacted with the people that gathered to meet and greet her. People extended wishes to Delhi CM on International Women’s Day by giving plants and bouquets. She also attended a Women’s Day program at Fortis Hospital, Delhi.
Rekha Gupta while addressing people at the event said, “We started the ‘Save the Daughter’ campaign, and today, we have reached the ‘Empower the Daughter’ campaign. We must focus on making daughters self-reliant. There should be no difference between sons and daughters. As a father figure, Modi Ji has given great respect to this daughter, and I am thankful for it. If we provide someone with good health, consider their life improved.”
By introducing the Ujjwala Yojana, Modi Ji has uplifted women
The Delhi chief minister also appreciated PM Modi for uplifting the women through the BJP government’s Ujjwala Yojana. “Today, with the double-engine government in Delhi, we are providing excellent healthcare services in all Delhi hospitals. Government hospitals should have good facilities so that people do not need to rush to private hospitals. Thousands of Jan Aushadhi Centers have been opened across India,” she said.
Rekha Gupta also targeted the previous government and said they launched medical facilities which were not useful. “The previous government hastily launched projects that were not useful and wasted crores of rupees belonging to the people of Delhi”, she added.
She said their government will work to provide the most affordable healthcare and they will add all the medical suggestions to the Delhi budget. “We will work to ensure that people in Delhi receive the most affordable healthcare services. Healthcare centers will be opened for the elderly and women. Now, the Delhi budget will be presented, and all the suggestions we receive regarding healthcare will be included in the budget”, she concluded.
