Punjab: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday emphasised AAP’s dedication to building a prosperous and drug-free Punjab, highlighting the government’s fight against drug abuse, the renovation of the Civil Hospital, and decisive actions against corruption and organised crime. Kejriwal addressed a huge rally in Ludhiana, focusing on Punjab’s progress under AAP’s governance.
He announced a statewide public movement against drugs starting April 1 (Tuesday).
“When the three crore people of Punjab rise, these smugglers will have nowhere to hide,” he proclaimed. He urged AAP workers, MLAs, ministers, and even CM Bhagwant Mann to visit villages and spread awareness. The AAP Chief announced transformative initiatives like village sports grounds, anti-drone systems to counter cross-border drug smuggling, and a state-wide drug census to provide targeted rehabilitation for addicts.
The rally marked the inauguration of Ludhiana Civil Hospital’s renovation. Highlighting the transformation, Kejriwal stated, “The Civil Hospital has been completely rejuvenated and is now a magnificent facility. Those who visited earlier know the dreadful state Congress, BJP, and Akali Dal left it in, along with 30,000 rats over their 30 years of misrule. Today, through the efforts of AAP and Sanjeev Arora Ji, the hospital has become a symbol of progress.”
