PUNJAB NEWS: BJP Alleges Misuse of Punjab Government Residences as Sunil Jakhar Faces Police Blockade

A fresh political controversy has emerged in Punjab after the BJP alleged that government residences belonging to the Punjab government in Chandigarh’s Sector 39 are being misused to accommodate Aam Aadmi Party leaders from outside the state. Punjab BJP leader Sunil Jakhar reportedly reached the area to raise the issue and claimed that he had a room booked at the Circuit House but was stopped from entering the premises. According to the report, Punjab Police personnel were deployed at the entrance of the government residential complex, while Chandigarh Police personnel and barricades were positioned on the road outside. The BJP has questioned the alleged use of government accommodation for political leaders and demanded clarity over the purpose for which the residences are being used. The incident has added to the ongoing political confrontation between the BJP and the Aam Aadmi Party in Punjab. Visuals from the spot showed Jakhar sitting outside the barricaded entrance while attempting to enter the premises. The deployment of both Punjab Police and Chandigarh Police has also become part of the political dispute, as the government residences are located within Chandigarh while being under the Punjab government’s administration. The allegations and the circumstances surrounding access to the premises are likely to trigger further political exchanges between the two parties. The Punjab government’s response to the BJP’s allegations remains important for establishing the facts surrounding the use of the government residences.
