The Ayushman Bharat scheme, a flagship initiative of the central government, provides health coverage of up to ₹5 lakh per family per year for secondary and tertiary care hospitalization. Despite its nationwide implementation, Delhi has not adopted the scheme under the current AAP administration. The BJP's pledge to introduce Ayushman Bharat in Delhi is positioned as a significant move to enhance healthcare accessibility for the city's residents.
In addition to the health scheme, the BJP's manifesto outlines several welfare initiatives. Notably, the party promises a monthly payment of ₹2,500 to every woman in Delhi through the Mahila Samridhi Yojana. This initiative aims to provide financial support to women, enhancing their economic independence.

The manifesto also addresses educational support, proposing free education up to the postgraduate level for girls and a one-time financial assistance of ₹15,000 for youth preparing for competitive examinations. These measures are designed to promote higher education and skill development among Delhi's youth.

The BJP has committed to continuing existing welfare schemes in Delhi, with a focus on more effective execution. Nadda assured that all current programs will persist under BJP governance, aiming for improved delivery and impact.

The BJP's strategy reflects a broader trend in Indian politics, where parties are increasingly offering direct financial incentives to voters. This approach has been both lauded for providing immediate relief to marginalized groups and criticized for potentially leading to fiscal challenges. In Delhi, the AAP has previously implemented measures such as free water and electricity for the poor, establishing a precedent for welfare-oriented governance.
