New Delhi, March 26
AAP National Convener Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday accused the Congress, Akali Dal, and BJP of defaming Punjab by labelling it as “Udta Punjab” during their respective tenures.
Kejriwal made the charge at rival parties while emphasizing Punjab government’s ongoing efforts to combat the drug menace and pledge for more aggressive action against drug suppliers in the state.
Taking to the social media platform X, Kejriwal wrote, "Our government in Punjab has launched a strong war against drugs. Now in the next phase, the big drug suppliers will be attacked. Not a single drug dealer or supplier will be spared. During the Congress, Akali Dal and BJP governments, they had defamed Punjab by calling it ‘Udta Punjab’. Now people are coming together to make ‘Badalta Punjab’."
This statement came in the wake of the Punjab government’s ongoing anti-drug mission, which has been in full swing since March 1, 2025.
In a related development, Punjab’s Director General of Police (DGP) also posted on X, providing an update on the progress of the anti-drug initiative.
