BJP will dismantle entire drug network within 6 months if voted to power in Punjab: Shivraj Singh Chouhan
Sep-21-2026

Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that if the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) forms the government in Punjab, it will dismantle the state’s drug supply network within six months of forming the government.

Union Minister made the statement while flagging off the BJP’s fourth ‘Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra’ from Talwandi Sabo in Bathinda district. The campaign focuses on the drug menace, law and order and alleged corruption in governance.

Chouhan said, ‘We take a firm pledge today that within six months of coming to power, the entire drug supply channel, its networks, and the properties of drug smugglers will be destroyed. No culprit will be spared’. He also criticised the Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab over the issue and alleged that the chief minister was running a government of ‘crime, corruption and commission’.

Union Minister said he was delivering a message from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. He said, ‘After coming to power, the BJP will destroy and eliminate the entire drug network within six months. This is our resolve. We will strike at the roots of drugs.’

Citing the BJP government’s record in Uttar Pradesh under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Chouhan said the party acted decisively against dacoity, Naxalism and organised crime.

The Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra is being conducted from multiple parts of the state and is scheduled to conclude in Jalandhar on September 30.
