The newly formed Delhi Cabinet, led by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta approved the implementation of the Ayushman Bharat health insurance scheme in the national capital and also decided to present 14 pending CAG reports in the first session of the assembly.
The decisions were made after the first meeting of the Delhi Cabinet on Thursday which came following the oath-taking ceremony.
Addressing her first press conference, CM Rekha Gupta said that the previous AAP government did not allow the health scheme in the city, preventing the people from availing its benefits.
The Chief Minister along with her Deputy Parvesh Verma and Cabinet ministers assumed the charge after taking oath of the office earlier in the day. After taking the charge, Gupta asserted that not a single day will be wasted in realising the "Viksit Delhi" mission.

BJP top brass including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union ministers Amit Shah, JP Nadda, and Rajnath Singh, and the chief ministers and deputy chief ministers of several NDA-ruled states, attended the ceremony. However, none of the AAP leaders, including former chief ministers Arvind Kejriwal and Atishi, were present at the ceremony.
