Sudip Bandyopadhyay asks a Question on family health insurance by the Government 

FULL TRANSCRIPT

My question I am placing as a reply to the Minister. He is a very nice person but, being pressured by his party, is now playing to the gallery. What I would say is that the West Bengal Government has introduced a scheme called Swasthya Sathi Prakalpa through which har family ko har saal mein 5 lakh rupiya milega.

Sir, unhone jawab diya ki yeh Ayushmaan Bharat Project Bangal nehi leta hain, and by saying this, he has targeted Bengal, I want to say that Bengal has introduced the scheme Swasthya Sathi for which it gives Rs 5 lakh to each family every year.

Therefore, I want to know from the Minister whether it is only Bengal or other States too that have refused this scheme.
