Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Anurag Dhanda has targeted the Congress over the alleged spread of the drug menace in Punjab and Himachal Pradesh, questioning the silence of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on the issue.
Anurag Dhanda Targets Congress Over Drug Menace in Punjab and Himachal Pradesh
In a social media post, Dhanda alleged that the drug trade had expanded in Punjab during the previous Congress government and claimed that Himachal Pradesh is now facing a similar situation under a Congress-led government.
Dhanda also questioned Rahul Gandhi’s response to the issue
“Congress government in Punjab” and “Congress government in Himachal” were central to Dhanda’s criticism as he sought to draw a political comparison between the two states.
Dhanda also questioned Rahul Gandhi’s response to the issue, alleging that the Congress leader had remained silent despite concerns surrounding drug abuse and the alleged expansion of the drug trade.
The AAP leader shared a report on the issue along with his remarks and urged people to watch the complete report. His comments come amid continuing political debates over drug abuse, law enforcement and the responsibility of state governments to tackle the problem.
The issue of drug abuse has remained a major political subject in Punjab, with successive governments facing criticism and pressure over efforts to curb drug trafficking and addiction. Political parties have frequently accused one another of failing to effectively address the problem.
Dhanda’s remarks also bring the issue into the political discourse in Himachal Pradesh, where the Congress government is currently in power. His statement seeks to put the opposition party on the defensive by linking its record in Punjab with the current situation in Himachal Pradesh.
