BJP Launches ‘Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra’; Nitin Nabin Targets AAP over Drugs, Vows Mass Campaign
The four yatras will cover all 117 Assembly constituencies as the party seeks to build a grassroots movement against drug abuse, leaders said.
- BJP national president Nitin Nabin flagged off the 13-day 'Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra' in Pathankot on Friday, targeting all 117 Assembly constituencies to combat substance abuse ahead of the 2027 elections.
- The BJP initiative targets consolidating the crucial 32% rural and Scheduled Caste voting bloc by framing drug addiction as a structural threat to Punjab's identity, shifting the state's narrative from 'Udta Punjab.'
- Nabin outlined a strategy targeting drug traffickers and breaking supply networks while rehabilitating addicts. "Through this Yatra, the BJP will reach every home, village, and town. We will champion the cause of the suffering families," he said.
- Tensions escalated as BJP MP Raghav Chadha alleged the AAP is 'scared,' claiming around 500 protesters surrounded party member Ravneet Singh Bittu's convoy, damaged vehicles, and threatened him, raising law-and-order concerns.
- Nabin intends to transform the initiative into a sustained grassroots movement across every district, directly challenging the ruling administration's record on drug policy and law enforcement through September 30 culmination in Jalandhar.
