KOLKATA: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday questioned the motive behind ‘deactivation’ of Aadhaar Cards in the state ahead of the Lok.
Mamata says most 'deactivated' Aadhaar cards belong to Matuas and SC/ST; Union minister Shantanu Thakur blames a technical fault but UIDAI says no Aadhaar number has been cancelled.
The government aims to deliver 10 lakh Ayushman Bharat cards everyday under its flagship health insurance scheme AB PM-JAY, Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya said on Sunday while highlighting that 3.95 crore admissions amounting to Rs 45,294 crore have been done so far under it.
