At Sangrur ‘insaaf rally’, Rahul targets Mann govt on drugs, crime

At Sangrur ‘insaaf rally’, Rahul targets Mann govt on drugs, crime

What's behind this

The BJP has accused Rahul Gandhi of avoiding debates in Parliament, a charge echoed by party leaders such as Keralam president Rajeev Chandrasekhar, who on November 3 said Gandhi and the Congress were spreading lies to create anarchy. Gandhi has responded by launching a Punjab campaign from Sangrur that links the drug crisis, crime and perceived Delhi control, and he has criticised AAP leader Bhagwant Mann, arguing Punjab needs a leader who truly understands the suffering caused by drugs.
