Ludhiana: BJP, Congress slam AAP over deteriorating law & order in state
“Since the AAP government came to power, law and order has deteriorated to the extent,”district BJP president Rajneesh Dhiman said.
A day after gangsters opened fire during a wedding ceremony at Bath Castle on Pakhowal Road—leaving two dead and one injured—political blame games intensified on Monday.
District BJP president Rajneesh Dhiman launched a scathing attack on the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government, alleging a complete breakdown of law and order in Punjab.
Dhiman said the gruesome incident, which occurred late Saturday night in the presence of several administrative officials and invited dignitaries, reflects the “total failure” of the state government. He claimed people in Punjab “no longer feel safe even while attending weddings.”
“Since the AAP government came to power, law and order has deteriorated to the extent that the system barely exists anymore. Gangsters are dominating the state while administrative officers remain silent spectators., he added.
Dhiman questioned how armed criminals could enter a high-profile event unchecked. “Gangsters opened fire openly in front of officials. Who is accountable for the deaths of two innocent people?” he asked.
The BJP leader accused the government of betraying the trust of voters. “For the last three and a half years, AAP representatives have deceived the public. Punjab is now drenched in blood instead of becoming vibrant, as promised,” he added.
Congress district president Sanjay Talwar also slammed the AAP government. “People are not safe even at weddings under the AAP regime. The police failed to arrest the perpetrators. Talwar, who attended the wedding but left early, warned that voters would teach AAP a lesson in 2027,” he added.
