Congress Sets Three-Day Yatras in All 117 Punjab Seats, Plans AAP 'Chargesheet'

The rollout marks a shift from broad criticism to a fixed, statewide ground campaign.

Overview

  • The Congress, which met in Chandigarh on Saturday, said it will run three-day yatras—local tours—in every one of Punjab's 117 Assembly constituencies.
  • Party leaders said they will soon publish a formal chargesheet that accuses the AAP government of rampant corruption and weak law and order.
  • Bhupesh Baghel said each tour will focus on meeting residents to hear their problems and expectations in that specific constituency.
  • Answering questions on recent bomb blasts, Baghel said both the Punjab government and the Union government share the duty to keep people safe.
  • Congress leaders also alleged misuse of investigative agencies by both the BJP and AAP, citing the Enforcement Directorate's arrest of minister Sanjeev Arora.
