BJP Alleges Misuse of Power and Media Censorship by Punjab's AAP Government
BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh accused the AAP-led Punjab government of misusing state machinery, citing deteriorating law and order, paper leaks in exams, and alleged media censorship. He highlighted incidents like the Barnala police action against protesting sanitation workers and questioned the effectiveness of the state's anti-drug campaign. The BJP claims gangsters operate with government protection, while the AAP has not responded to these allegations. Both sources present these criticisms with a focus on factual reporting.
