What hope is left for common citizens – Congress
Leader of Opposition in Punjab Assembly Pratap Singh Bajwa has held the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government responsible for the failure of law and order in the state. As soon as the news of the murder broke, Bajwa posted on X and said, “The shocking murder of AAP leader Lucky Oberoi in broad daylight outside a Gurudwara in Jalandhar has exposed this horrifying truth. If the leaders of the ruling party are not safe, then what hope is left for the common citizens?”
He further questioned, “Punjab today is in the grip of fear, gang violence and administrative deadlock, while the AAP government is busy in public relations and making excuses. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann will have to answer, who is responsible for this complete system collapse?”
