BJP spokesperson Dr. Sudhanshu Trivedi criticized the AAP government in Punjab, saying that since they came to power, the state`s economic and law and order situations have worsened. He pointed out that crime rates, including murders, are at a high, and criminals feel more empowered. He also highlighted the recent shooting at the Golden Temple and the attack on former CM Sukhbir Singh Badal as signs of how bad the situation has become. Trivedi attributed this to internal conflicts within the AAP government between the unofficial and official CM. He also noted a significant drop in investment in Punjab, from Rs 23,000 crore in 2021-22 to just Rs 3,000 crore last year.
