Speaking at a press conference in Jalandhar, Channi said the Congress would launch a public movement against drug abuse, gangsterism and corruption in Punjab. The party has also raised concerns about the law-and-order situation and alleged illegal mining in the state.
The Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee has begun taking on the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government over these issues. Senior Congress leaders said the campaign would focus on problems they believe require urgent attention from the state government.
Channi addressed questions from journalists during the press conference, outlining the party’s proposed approach to the issues. The Congress intends to mobilise public support against drug abuse, criminal gang activity and corruption, while also highlighting concerns over illegal mining and law enforcement.
Rahul Gandhi’s proposed Sangrur visit is expected to bring the party’s concerns about Punjab into focus. However, the supplied report did not provide further details about the venue, schedule or format of his programme.
The Congress’s planned public movement marks its stated effort to intensify its political campaign against the AAP government over governance and public safety concerns. Further details about the campaign’s launch and planned activities were not available in the report.
