BJP should worry about its own existence, not AAP: Neel Garg

Targeting the Bharatiya Janata Party, Aam Aadmi Party's state spokesperson Neel Garg said that instead of commenting on AAP's affairs, the BJP should examine its eroding base within Punjab.

Answering allegations that AAP is falling apart after three MLAs joined the BJP, he said that the party had distanced itself from these leaders long ago.

Garg stated that former IPS officer Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh was suspended by the party back in June 2025. He clarified that the departure of a few individuals does not end the party's support among the general public.

According to the AAP spokesperson, in a democracy, the public's opinion determines the future of parties. He said that people's trust, development works, and common issues are the strength of the government, which is why the people stand with Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.

Raising questions on the BJP's record, he said the BJP will have to answer the state's residents regarding the losses suffered by farmers during the Delhi agitation, withheld funds of Punjab, water disputes, and Chandigarh's status.

He said that Kunwar Vijay Pratap had earlier accused Raghav Chadha of patronizing drugs, so the BJP must clarify its stance on these allegations.
