Rahul Gandhi criticised Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, alleging he is under the influence of 'nasha' and asserting that the AAP administration in the state is directed from Delhi.
In a recent public statement, senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi singled out Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, accusing him of being under the sway of "nasha" and suggesting that the state government is effectively controlled from Delhi.
Gandhi's remarks highlight the ongoing political contest between the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party, which governs both Delhi and Punjab. By linking the Punjab administration to Delhi, he implied that the AAP's regional autonomy is limited.
The Economic Times reported the comments, noting that Gandhi used the term "nasha" to underscore his criticism of Mann's leadership and the perceived centralisation of decision‑making within the AAP hierarchy.
