In a blistering attack against the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab, BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh has accused Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s administration of failing the people of the state on every major front. Campaigning for BJP candidate Jiwan Gupta in the high-stakes Ludhiana West by-election, Chugh highlighted the continuing drug crisis, lawlessness, and financial mismanagement under the AAP regime.
Speaking at a public rally, Chugh didn’t mince words as he pointed to the alarming persistence of drug-related deaths in Punjab. He claimed that despite AAP’s much-publicized “Yudh Nashian De Virudh” (War Against Drugs) campaign—which had promised a decisive end to the narcotics menace by May 31—drug abuse and trafficking continue to plague the state. Chugh questioned the sincerity and effectiveness of the campaign, alleging that it was nothing more than a hollow slogan designed to mislead the public.
The BJP leader also lambasted the Bhagwant Mann-led government for what he described as its “chaotic and directionless” approach to governance. He alleged that Punjab’s law and order situation has deteriorated to unprecedented levels, with financial mismanagement resulting in a staggering debt burden of over ₹4 lakh crore. This fiscal instability, Chugh claimed, has eroded investor confidence and driven entrepreneurs away from the state, further deepening Punjab’s economic woes.
Chugh also brought up AAP’s unfulfilled promise of providing ₹1,000 per month to every woman in Punjab—a poll commitment that had helped sweep AAP to power but remains largely unimplemented. He characterized Mann as a mere “puppet” of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and predicted that just as voters in Delhi had rejected Kejriwal’s governance, Punjabis would similarly oust Mann from power in the 2027 elections.
The BJP’s intensified attack, coming in the middle of a closely watched by-election, underscores the growing political friction in Punjab as the state grapples with issues of law, order, and financial instability. Chugh’s remarks not only sharpen the BJP’s narrative against AAP but also resonate with growing public frustration over unmet promises and persistent drug-related challenges.
