AAP Leader Accuses BJP, Congress, SAD of Defaming Punjab Over Drug Issues
AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh accused the BJP, Congress, and Shiromani Akali Dal of running a campaign to defame Punjab by highlighting drug and law-and-order issues. Singh claimed these parties lacked moral authority to criticize the AAP government, citing their records during previous tenures when drug trade allegedly flourished. He highlighted the current government's efforts, including over 96,000 drug-related cases registered. Singh also questioned the BJP's selective criticism, referencing similar issues in BJP-ruled states and expressed confidence in AAP's prospects for the 2027 Assembly elections.
