Union Minister of Jal Shakti and Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP) leader Gajendra Singh Shekhawat made a scathing attack at the Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi for the deteriorating situation of the law and order in the state and said the state has turned bankrupt due to wrong policies by both Congress and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD).
Ahead of the 2022 Punjab Assembly election, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat on Sunday inaugurated the party's election office in Jalandhar.
"At this time there is an atmosphere of chaos in the state, law and order has completely collapsed and in view of the elections, the Aam Aadmi Party is also talking only to woo the people. There is a need for change in Punjab which the Bharatiya Janata Party can bring," said Bharatiya Janta Party Punjab president Ashwani Sharma.
Shekhawat said that both the Gandhi family of the Congress and the Badals of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) have ruined the state.
Speaking about the party formed by the farmers, Shekhawat said, "farmers will themselves decide that politically, where they will face profit or loss".
the BJP, if elected, would bring back the golden age in Punjab, which now has a debt of Rs 4 lakh crore.
Punjab is slated to go to Assembly polls next year.
