State BJP Working President Ashwani Sharma criticized Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and AAP Convenor Arvind Kejriwal for the RDX blast near Sirhind town’s railway station in Punjab’s Fatehgarh Sahib district. The blast caused injuries to a goods train driver and damaged railway property, occurring on a track for Amritsar-Delhi goods trains. Sharma blamed the AAP government for security negligence just before Republic Day, highlighting the state’s safety concerns.
The BJP leader expressed concerns about the rise of gangsterism and drug issues in Punjab, leading to a sense of insecurity among citizens. Sharma accused the state government of prioritizing advertisements over concrete security measures. He demanded immediate accountability, a thorough investigation, and stringent actions against those responsible, warning of raising the issue on various platforms if law and order concerns persist.
State Congress Chief Amarinder Singh Raja Warring condemned the blast, attributing it to a failure of the state government and police. He emphasized the ominous implications of the incident for Punjab’s peace and security, cautioning against the looming threat of gangsters and blasts. Warring underscored the need for Congress to protect the state from reliving its dark past, ensuring the safety and well-being of the people.
