The Aam Aadmi Party has denounced Rahul Gandhi’s recent comments on the Punjab chief minister as a below‑the‑belt attack and warned that the state is being targeted jointly by the Congress and BJP.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) issued a sharp rebuke on Tuesday, labeling Rahul Gandhi’s recent criticism of Punjab’s chief minister as a "below‑the‑belt" attack. Party spokespersons said the language used crossed the bounds of civil political discourse and was intended to demean the elected leader.
AAP officials added that the remarks reflect a broader strategy to portray Punjab as a battleground for the two national parties. They asserted that both the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are treating the state as a "joint target" to undermine the AAP government’s agenda.
The party urged political opponents to focus on policy issues rather than personal attacks, emphasizing that Punjab’s development should not be compromised by partisan rivalry. No response from Rahul Gandhi or the Congress was recorded at the time of reporting.
