Union Home Minister Amit Shah accused the Punjab AAP administration of destroying the state's economy and allowing drug money to circulate unchecked.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched a sharp criticism of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab, alleging that its policies have crippled the state's economy. He claimed that the administration has failed to curb the flow of illicit drug money, describing the situation as "chitta flows freely" while the economy remains "destroyed".
Shah's remarks were made during a public address where he highlighted concerns over corruption and drug-related activities allegedly tolerated by the state government. He urged the central government to intervene and take corrective measures to restore economic stability and enforce stricter anti‑drug enforcement.
The AAP leadership in Punjab has not yet issued a formal response to Shah's accusations. Political analysts note that the statements could intensify the ongoing political rivalry between the central government and the state administration ahead of upcoming electoral contests.
The controversy adds to the broader national debate on drug abuse and economic governance, with both parties vowing to protect the interests of Punjab's citizens.
