BJP releases 'chargesheet' on 'governance failure' in state

The BJP released a comprehensive 'chargesheet', exposing the massive governance failures of the Aam Aadmi Party in Punjab.

Releasing the 'chargesheet', state general secretary Rakesh Rathour said the document reflected the ground reality of Punjab, where every section of society was suffering under AAP’s non-performing and anti-people regime. He was flanked by district BJP president Sushil Sharma, former MLA Jagbir Brar, district general secretary Ashok Sareen, Amarjit Singh Goldy, district secretary Amit Bhatia, ex-district president Raman Pubby, and ex-state president, sports cell, Sunny Sharma.

Rathour said, "AAP made false promises. It's election promises included giving ₹1000 to every woman, starting mohalla clinics, regularising employees, setting up cultural centres and giving corruption-free governance but it failed on most fronts. AAP has even betrayed the annadata of Punjab by trying to bring in land pooling policies and refusing to offer MSP on all crops."

The BJP leaders said the Punjab’s per-capita debt had soared to ₹1,23,274, while total state debt has crossed ₹3.82 lakh crore and was projected to touch ₹4.17 lakh crore next yea r— an alarming sign of financial collapse.

"There has been a failure of the government on law and order issues as firing incidents, daylight murders and grenade attacks have become common. Even the police stations have become unsafe. Thousands of youngsters have died due to drug overdose, even as several party leaders face allegations of involvement in the drug trade", said BJP district chief Sushil Sharma.

The BJP leaders spoke about the growing unrest among teachers, doctors and MGNREGA workers. "The vacant posts, shortage of specialists, dysfunctional hospitals and schools without principals expose the hollowness of AAP’s so-called 'revolution'," said ex-MLA Brar.
