“Punjab is now the first state in India to provide its citizens free healthcare, education, electricity and bus travel,” HT quoted AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal as saying during the launch of the scheme earlier in July.

Kejriwal stated that inspired by the message of“Sarbat da Bhala” (welfare of all) given by the great Gurus, the Punjab government has taken initiatives aimed at benefiting every section of society. He emphasised that this principle is why the AAP has consistently prioritised quality healthcare and education, enabling people to progress in life. He added that those who talk about making India a“Vishwaguru” (global leader) have, in the past, failed to provide these essential services, which has caused the country to fall behind.
