Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi criticised Home Minister Amit Shah, saying the current government could collapse within a year amid the escalating drug problem in Punjab.
Rahul Gandhi, senior leader of the Indian National Congress, publicly questioned the stability of the Union government, asserting that it may not survive beyond a year. He directed his criticism at Home Minister Amit Shah, linking the administration's perceived inaction to the worsening drug crisis in Punjab. Gandhi highlighted rising drug-related deaths and arrests in the state, suggesting that the government's failure to curb the menace reflects broader governance shortcomings. The remarks were made during a recent public address, where Gandhi urged the ruling party to take decisive steps to address the narcotics problem. No official response from the government has been recorded as of now.
