Punjab Drug Crisis Dominates Political Landscape Ahead of 2027 Polls
The drug crisis in Punjab has emerged as a central issue in the state's political discourse, particularly with the 2027 assembly elections on the horizon. Major political parties, including the BJP, SAD, AAP, and Congress, are actively engaging with the issue. The BJP and SAD have organized anti-drug 'yatras' (processions). Meanwhile, the AAP and Congress are targeting the previous alliance between the BJP and SAD, while also directing criticism at the central government for the ongoing drug menace that is affecting the state.
