During to his visit to Jalandhar on Sunday, Jakhar said, “The broad daylight murders, robberies and snatchings stand testimony to the failure of the state government in ensuring law and order in Punjab.”

He added that gangsters are calling the shots from inside the jail and running key affairs in Punjab.

“The state government has also completely failed to meet its promise of eradicating the drug problem,” said Jakhar.

“Not an iota of change has come in the state after the AAP came into power. In fact, the situation has only deteriorated,” he said.
