The Karmaveer Bauddh organization staged a press briefing in Jalandhar, accusing the ruling BJP of worsening inflation and the drug menace, while questioning the absence of MP Channi.
In Jalandhar, the Karmaveer Bauddh group convened a press conference to voice concerns over rising consumer prices and the persistent drug problem in Punjab. Representatives of the organization directly blamed the Bharatiya Janata Party government for policies they say have exacerbated inflation and facilitated the spread of narcotics.
The speakers highlighted recent price hikes in essential commodities and linked them to the central government's fiscal approach, urging immediate corrective measures. They also pointed to the state's drug crisis, asserting that inadequate enforcement and lack of political will have allowed the issue to deepen.
During the session, the panel raised questions about the non‑attendance of Union Minister and MP Sukhdev Singh Channi, suggesting his absence signaled a reluctance to address the grievances raised. No official response from the BJP or the minister's office was recorded at the time.
The press conference concluded with a call for the ruling party to engage with civil society groups and implement concrete steps to curb inflation and drug abuse, emphasizing the urgency for public welfare.
