The Union Minister and BJP's candidate for Amethi, Smriti Irani on Sunday shared a video, which shows a man narrating the incident of the death of his uncle after he was denied treatment at Amethi's Sanjay Gandhi Hospital because they were holding an Ayushman Bharat card. In the video clip, Smriti Irani is seen asking the man questions on how he had taken his uncle to the Sanjay Gandhi Hospital with Ayudhman Bharat Card and then help, saying that "this hospital is not Yogi and Modi's hospital. Ayushma card doesn't work here."

आज मैं निशब्द हूँ - कोई इतना गिर सकता है यह कभी नहीं सोचा था।

एक ग़रीब को सिर्फ़ इसलिए मरने दिया क्यूँकि उसके पास मोदी का आयुष्मान कार्ड था पर अस्पताल राहुल गांधी का था। pic.twitter.com/fSqEpK5A6S

It showed a man saying that the staffers at the hospital had rejected his ailing uncle's Ayushman Bharat card on the grounds that "the hospital belongs to Rahulji and not Yogi or Modi". He also claimed that his uncle died on April 26 for want of medical assistance. The allegation was cited by both Union Minister Smriti Irani and Prime Minister Narendra Modi to target Congress president Rahul Gandhi, who they said was a trustee at the medical institution.

The Ayushman Bharat Yojana or Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana is a centrally sponsored scheme launched under the Ayushman Bharat Mission in 2018.
