Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched a scathing attack on the AAP dispensation in Punjab on June 18, stating that the state’s law and order is going from bad to worse as Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann spends all his time touring with Arvind Kejriwal across the country. Addressing a rally in Gurdaspur, as part of the BJP’s outreach campaign to mark the completion of nine years of the Narendra Modi Government, Shah criticized Mann, saying, ‘The Chief Minister has only one job. If Mr. Kejriwal has to go to Chennai, then he goes to Delhi in the aircraft to take him to Chennai. If he [Mr. Kejriwal] has to go to Kolkata, then again he [Mr. Mann] takes the aircraft and take him to Kolkata.’ People are not safe here, Mr. Shah said, while the drug trade is increasing. Many BJP leaders have alleged that Delhi Chief Minister and party national convenor Arvind Kejriwal took along Mr. Mann during his visits to different parts of the country so that he could fly in Mr. Mann’s State aircraft.
