The BJP has used its official social media handle on X to highlight what it describes as a sweeping change in India’s healthcare landscape. The party framed its message around the Sanskrit saying ‘Aarogyam Paramam Bhagyam’ — ‘health is the greatest fortune’ — and argued that the picture of healthcare in the country has shifted over the last 12 years.
When Illness Drained a Family’s Savings
The post recalls a time when a serious illness did more than break the body — it could also strip away years of accumulated savings from a middle-class household. The cost of treatment, the party noted, often left families financially shattered, with a single illness weighing heavily on an entire home’s finances.
The Claim of a 12-Year ‘Revolution’
According to the BJP, the 12-year stretch from 2014 to 2026 has seen India witness a major revolution in the field of health. The party says the changes in health facilities and systems during this period have altered the situation for ordinary citizens, and particularly for middle-class families. The core message of the post is that the burden of illness should no longer be something capable of breaking a family’s financial backbone.
Public Reaction
Responses to the post were mixed — some users welcomed the claims and praised the government’s efforts, while others raised questions about ground realities and asked for hard numbers to back the assertions.
