The Bharatiya Janata Party launched a sharp attack against the Aam Aadmi Party government and the Congress over the prevailing drug menace in Punjab. The party claimed that the drug syndicate in the state can only be eradicated if the National Democratic Alliance is voted to power under Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Highlighting the central government's track record in curbing Naxalism and dismantling terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir, BJP representatives argued that neither the Aam Aadmi Party nor the Congress possesses the intent or ability to resolve the crisis. The attack follows Union Home Minister Amit Shah's visit to Jalandhar, where an ambition was set to eliminate drugs from Punjab by December 31, 2029. With the 2027 assembly elections approaching, the BJP positioned itself as the sole viable alternative to address the widespread drug network affecting the state.

04:24track record,
04:24we have solved situations, we have solved problems, and drug is one thing which has destroyed Punjab.
04:29This is what the allegations have come from.
04:31Definitely, we have seen incidents in the past, Parvinder Jhota being shot down, he was an anti-drug activist.
04:38Before that, Gulzar Singh, who raised the voice for drugs, against drugs, he committed suicide.
04:44So, there have been numerous incidents like this in Punjab.
