BJP's Tarun Chugh hits out at Punjab over MP's security, seeks Central forces' intervention
Babushahi Bureau
Chandigarh, April 26, 2026:BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh on Saturday launched a sharp attack on the Punjab Police, alleging failure to ensure the safety of Members of Parliament amid reported incidents targeting their residences.
Taking aim at the state’s law enforcement, Chugh said that if the Punjab Police is unable to protect constitutional functionaries, the responsibility should be handed over to central security agencies. He urged immediate intervention to safeguard elected representatives.
He further alleged that the Aam Aadmi Party has weakened in Punjab, claiming that several senior leaders have exited the party due to what he described as “immoral and corrupt practices.”
Referring to the recent developments involving Punjab’s Rajya Sabha MPs, Chugh said the situation has exposed the party’s governance failures and inability to deliver on its promises.
He also criticised the law and order situation in the state, alleging that Punjab is witnessing a rise in criminal elements, including mafias and gangsters, under the current regime.
