During a recent political rally held by Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Punjab, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) launched a pointed critique of the BJP’s anti-drug campaign, known as the 'Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra.' AAP Punjab chief Aman Arora questioned the credibility of the BJP’s efforts to address the state's drug crisis, specifically highlighting the BJP’s past political partnership with the Shiromani Akali Dal. Arora argued that the BJP shares responsibility for the state's drug issues due to its long-standing alliance with the Akali Dal during previous administrations.

While the AAP focused on the BJP's historical record, the Congress party also entered the fray, criticizing both the BJP and the AAP. The political tension underscores the ongoing debate over which party holds the most accountability for the drug epidemic in Punjab. While the BJP promotes its current Yatra as a solution to the crisis, opposition parties are framing the initiative as a political maneuver rather than a genuine policy shift. The sources agree that the rally served as a flashpoint for regional political maneuvering, though they differ on the primary focus of the criticism, with AAP prioritizing the BJP's past alliances and Congress positioning itself against both major political rivals.
