BJP Criticizes Punjab CM Mann's Anti-Drug Campaign
The BJP is accusing Punjab's Chief Minister, Bhagwant Mann, of using the anti-drug campaign as a way to get attention, like he did with his anti-corruption drive.
They point out that a minister Mann said confessed to corruption was later cleared by investigators.
The BJP questions why Mann isn't investigating accusations against his own party members who are said to be involved in the drug trade.
They say Mann isn't doing enough to fight drugs and is instead protecting his party's leaders, putting the youth of Punjab at risk.
BJP leader Vineet Joshi claims CM Mann's anti-drug campaign is a publicity stunt.
Joshi cites the Vijay Singla case, where the Vigilance Bureau submitted a closure report despite Mann's earlier claims of a confession.
Joshi questions why CM Mann hasn't acted on allegations against AAP leaders and MLAs linked to the drug trade.
Joshi mentions a letter from BJP President Sunil Jakhar urging Mann to request a probe supervised by the Chief Justice.
Joshi accuses the AAP government of protecting its leaders instead of taking strict action against drugs.
