Jalandhar, July 17: Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a strong political attack on the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab during a public rally in Jalandhar on Friday. With the Punjab Assembly elections approaching, he described the AAP as a “hardcore dishonest party” and accused the state government of failing to tackle corruption, deteriorating law and order, and the growing drug menace.
Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister said that the ruling party in Punjab has now earned the reputation of being a “hardcore dishonest party.” He alleged that the policies and governance of the state government have harmed Punjab’s future and slowed the pace of development. He also highlighted that the Central Government has been continuously investing in roads, railways, and infrastructure projects to support the state’s development.
During his speech, PM Modi criticized the Punjab government over issues such as law and order, drug trafficking, corruption, and administrative failures. He claimed that the people of Punjab are seeking change and asserted that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is capable of providing a new direction for the state.
The Prime Minister also shared a video of his speech on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, stating that there are numerous examples of how the current Punjab government has negatively impacted the state’s future.
Responding to the Prime Minister’s remarks, the Aam Aadmi Party rejected the allegations, accusing him of ignoring Punjab’s real issues during his visit and focusing solely on political attacks. The party described his speech as being driven by election campaign considerations.
Political observers believe that PM Modi’s visit and his direct criticism of the AAP are likely to intensify the political atmosphere in Punjab ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections, with both the BJP and AAP expected to sharpen their campaigns in the coming months.
