Arvind Kejriwal, AAP's national convener, criticized previous Congress, SAD, and BJP governments for worsening Punjab’s drug crisis. He urged people not to vote for these parties in the upcoming elections, warning of potential drug resurgence.
Kejriwal praised the Bhagwant Mann-led government for its strong anti-drug measures, notably the 'Yudh Nashian Virudh' initiative. A state-level event in Killi Chahlan village highlighted the campaign's efforts to combat drug smuggling.
