Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday promised free medical treatment for all senior citizens of Delhi if his party retained power in the upcoming Assembly elections.

“The elders of Delhi have always considered me as their son,” Kejriwal said. “Today I am going to fulfil my duty. If AAP wins, all citizens above 60 years of age in Delhi will get free treatment under Sanjeevani Yojana.”

Kejriwal said that the cost of the medical treatment would be fully covered by the Delhi government, regardless of whether the hospital is government-operated or private.
