‘Entire Country Stands with Punjab’: Delhi CM Rekha Gupta Joins BJP’s Anti-Drug Yatra, Targets AAP
She said fighting drug abuse needs families, officials and society, as the BJP’s four-route campaign will cover about 4,000 km across Punjab.
- On Saturday, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta joined the Bharatiya Janata Party's "Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra" in Fatehgarh Sahib, criticizing the ruling Aam Aadmi Party for failing to tackle the state's drug problem.
- Since assuming power in 2022, the AAP government promised to eliminate drugs within three months but has extended the deadline six times, leading Gupta to argue the party cannot realistically resolve the crisis.

- Describing Kejriwal as the "super Chief Minister of Punjab," Gupta alleged the AAP leadership misused public resources and stated the 13-day Yatra will "expose" the former Delhi leader.
