Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta today said Aam Aadmi Party national convener Arvind Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann had promised Punjabis to eliminate drugs within three months of forming the government but had “failed” miserably on this front.Addressing a gathering ahead of the second leg of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s “Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra” here, she said, “The Aam Aadmi Party government comes up with a new deadline after everyfew months.”She said she had come from Delhi to “expose” Kejriwal, whom she described as the “super CM” of Punjab. She alleged that Kejriwal and his “battalion” first captured Punjab with Delhi’s money and were now spending the hard-earned money of Punjabis in other states to serve their political interests.She said Kejriwal had built a “Sheesh Mahal” for himself in Delhi, and after losing power, he was now living in “Sheesh Mahal 2” in Punjab.Referring to the debt of Rs 5 lakh crore on the state, she asked who would repay it, adding that Punjabis would drive Kejriwal out.She said when floods hit Punjab, Kejriwal “ran back to Delhi”. “Those responsible for the misgovernance of Delhi are now sitting in Punjab and have been exploiting the state for the past four and a half years,” she said, adding that the time has come to break the shackles.Referring to the efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah in tackling terrorism and other security challenges, she said the people of Punjab were not alone in the fight against drugs. She said the Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra was not merely a political programme but a call for collective action.“This yatra is not merely a journey. It is the beginning of a movement to free Punjab from drugs, crime, and fear,” she said. She alleged that gang violence, targeted killings, and a sense of insecurity were spreading across Punjab.Punjab BJP chief Kewal Singh Dhillon said, “Pizza delivery may get delayed, but chitta is always delivered on time in the state.” He said attempts were made to disrupt the yatra by throwing eggs at Ravneet Bittu.Pathankot MLA Ashwani Sharma said, “Can anyone trust a person who cannot give up alcohol even after swearing on his mother to control drugs?”Earlier, the BJP’s activists and a few Aam Aadmi Party workers reportedly came face-to-face along the yatra route. The police intervention prevented the situation from escalating.Several billboards put up along the route raised questions over the alleged flow of drugs into Punjab from Gujarat, including questions directed at Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
