AAP, Congress misleading Punjab, wasting state resources: Chugh

Jammu, Feb 24: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National General Secretary Tarun Chugh on Monday strongly criticised both the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government and the opposition Congress in Punjab, accusing them of engaging in a political charade while the state suffers.
Chugh in a statement said that in the past 36 months, AAP, which was entrusted with governance, has completely failed to meet the expectations of the people. “Instead of holding the ruling party accountable, Congress, which sits in the opposition, has been complicit in AAP’s misgovernance, failing to question its blatant mismanagement of Punjab’s resources and deteriorating law and order situation,” he said.
As the Punjab Vidhan Sabha session began on Monday, the BJP leader highlighted the long list of unfulfilled promises by AAP and Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. He reminded the people that the much-publicised promise of Rs 1000 per month to women remains unfulfilled, farmers are still waiting for the loan waivers they were assured of, and the youth of Punjab are battling drug addiction while struggling with a lack of job opportunities.
The AAP government, which came to power with tall claims, has completely abandoned its commitments, leaving Punjab in a state of despair.
Chugh alleged that both AAP and Congress have systematically pushed Punjab decades backwards. “Their reckless governance has trapped the state in a vicious cycle of debt while law and order have been compromised for political gains,” he said, adding, “The people of Punjab—farmers, youth, and traders—are living in fear as the government lacks any concrete policy or solutions to their problems.”
The BJP leader added, “The people of Punjab are demanding answers from these two parties that have ruined the state with their mismanagement and deceitful politics.”
The BJP, he said, remains committed to exposing the failures of AAP and Congress and ensuring a better future for Punjab under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of development and good governance.
