The Aam Aadmi Party has forwarded the alleged drug money case involving former Punjab minister Bikram Majithia to a central agency, aiming to shift focus from the BJP‑led anti‑drug campaign.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has directed the alleged drug money case against former Punjab minister Bikram Majithia to a central agency, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing scrutiny of Punjab’s political landscape.
The move comes amid a heightened anti‑drug campaign led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which has been targeting the Punjab government and its allies. By sending the case to a central body—likely the Central Drugs Control Bureau or the Central Bureau of Investigation—AAP seeks to bring the matter into the national spotlight.
Political analysts note that the action could intensify pressure on the ruling coalition and may influence speculation about a potential reunion between the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and the BJP. The central agency is expected to conduct a thorough investigation, potentially uncovering links between drug money and political funding.
AAP’s decision underscores the party’s strategy to counter the BJP’s narrative and to spotlight alleged corruption within the Akali‑led administration. The outcome of the central investigation could have far‑reaching implications for Punjab’s governance and the broader national political discourse.
