New Delhi, October 6 (Udaipur Kiran) : BJP national spokesperson RP Singh has raised serious concerns about the law and order situation in Punjab, describing it as “extremely poor” and worsening. Speaking in New Delhi, Singh pointed to increasing incidents of murder, open drug trafficking, and extortion, claiming that residents are being threatened with kidnapping and murder if they do not pay up.
Singh stated that the system in Punjab has completely collapsed, endangering not just ordinary citizens but also police officers, who are increasingly targeted by armed criminals. He urged the Bhagwant Mann-led government to take immediate and serious measures to restore law and order in the state.
Addressing the proposed protests by opposition MPs against the Election Commission, Singh emphasized that while opposition is a fundamental right, it should be based on logical grounds. He noted that the opposition had approached the Supreme Court demanding the suspension of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, but the court denied an immediate suspension, allowing the CEC to respond at a later date. Singh questioned the need for protests if the opposition trusts the judicial process.
On remarks made by Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar regarding India-Pakistan relations, Singh demanded clarity from Congress on whether it supports dialogue with Pakistan, especially concerning terrorism. He referred to Aiyar’s statement suggesting the need for negotiations despite India’s military capabilities.
Commenting on the selection of new BJP candidates for the Rajya Sabha from Uttar Pradesh, Singh highlighted that the party has chosen eight new faces based on social equations and the demands of its workers, aiming to enhance the dignity of the upper house.
Regarding Rahul Gandhi’s electoral strategies, Singh criticized the Congress leader’s “Vote Rights Yatra” in Bihar, suggesting that the public rejected such efforts. He also pointed out the inconsistency in the opposition’s stance on the Election Commission, noting that complaints arise only after electoral defeats.
In response to Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s comments about the Election Commission, Singh accused the party of being dynastic and not adhering to constitutional processes. He reiterated that the opposition’s past victories were achieved under the same electronic voting machine (EVM) system they now question, urging them to focus on strengthening their organization and work instead of blaming constitutional institutions after electoral losses.
