Fight against drugs another political gimmick of AAP: Chugh

Chandigarh/New Delhi, Mar 1: BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh today described the formation of a cabinet sub-committee to fight drugs in Punjab as yet another political gimmick being played by the AAP government.

He said it took 36 months for the AAP government led by Bhagwant-Kejriwal duo to take this step which should have been taken within 36 hours of assuming power in 2022.

Chugh ridiculed how cabinet ministers would perform the task of police to check drug peddlers.” Ever since the AAP government came to power in Punjab drug mafias have flourished as much as the liquor mafias in Punjab. He said in fact a dope test needed to be conducted on the cabinet committee members and Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to make sure if they mean business,”he added.

He said after the party’s crushing defeat in Delhi Assembly elections , it has suddenly woken up to become hyperactive in Punjab. “This is a cosmetic exercise which will expose the AAO inefficiency and lack of commitment once again in days to come,” BJP leader said.

Talking to media persons, Chugh said it would be another pretext for the AAP government to splurge tax payers’ money on fake advertisements. “We have seen it in the field of employment and health as well and now a new gimmick would be played on the people of Punjab,”he added.
