00:00That big story coming in from Punjab.
00:02Chitta is once again emerging as a major political flashpoint in Punjab.
00:07The white drug with 2027 assembly elections now approaching.
00:11So you have Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
00:13He was in Jalandhar today and he spoke of the Nasha Muk Punjab Yatra.
00:19The Home Minister hit out at the Aam Admi Party government on the drug menace.
00:23He promised the people of Punjab the state will be drug free by December 31, 2029.
00:30If the BJP comes to power.
00:32So BJP's Nasha Muk Punjab Yatra that was launched on the 18th of September with four yatras.
00:37Covered about 4000 kilometres in all 117 constituencies.
00:42We get you more in this report.
00:53Chitta has become one of Punjab's biggest political flashpoints ahead of the 2027 assembly elections.
01:01And the BJP is putting the drug menace at the centre of its Punjab campaign.
01:06As part of the party's Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra, Union Home Minister Amit Shah was in Jalandhar today.
01:13And he made one big promise to Punjab.
01:16A drug free state by December 31, 2029 if the BJP comes to power.
01:22I am here to speak to Punjab people.
01:30There are some lessons in Punjab.
01:35But the next lesson in Punjab,
01:38the British people party,
01:42is the only one that has been fought in Punjab.
01:52Shah also launched a direct attack on the Bhagawan Taman government,
01:56accusing the Amarmi Party government of allowing the drug trade to flourish in the state.
02:19BJP's Nasha Mukht Punjab was launched by the party president Nitin Nabeen on September 18th from Pathan Kod.
02:25Four yatras covered nearly 4,000 kilometers across all 170 assembly constituencies before culminating today in Jalandhar.
02:38The Congress, which is also targeting Amarmi Party over the Chitta issue, has dismissed the BJP campaign as a flop
02:46show.
03:00The ruling Amarmi Party, however, says its fight against drugs is already underway and has defended its record.
03:09In Punjab, Amit Shah ji, Punjab's son Bhagawan Taman, had been killed by his mind and had been killed by
03:18his soul.
03:20Why were they killed by their lives? Because their journey is going on so many days, four people didn't come
03:24in that journey.
03:25In 2007-2017, Akali Bhajpa government reached to Punjab's home to the country.
03:38The drug issue has gained fresh political traction in recent weeks.
03:42In Sangroor, 50-year-old Gulzar Singh died by suicide after accusing the Maank Sarkar of not doing enough to
03:49stop the Chitta problem.
03:50His family and others alleged that he faced pressure after raising the issue.
03:55The allegations have triggered a political controversy while police investigations are underway.
04:01And before that, a young man was detained and allegedly tortured after displaying black plaques to Chief Minister Bhagwat Maan
04:09over the drug issue.
04:11With elections approaching, the drug issue is becoming one of the biggest tests for Amarmi Party and arguably the biggest
04:18political weapon for the BJP.
