BJP Leaders Criticize Punjab AAP Government Over Drug Crisis Ahead of 2027 ElectionsPreviousNext

BJP leaders, including Rajasthan CM Bhajan Lal Sharma and Union MoS Ajay Tamta, criticized Punjab's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government for failing to control the drug crisis ahead of the 2027 assembly elections. They highlighted unfulfilled promises by AAP and called for stronger political will and action against drug traffickers. The BJP's 'Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra' aims to raise awareness and combat drug abuse, with leaders emphasizing rehabilitation and stricter enforcement. The AAP government has not publicly responded in these reports.
