AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal has launched a scathing attack on the BJP, alleging that 80% of the drugs entering Punjab now originate from BJP-governed states like Gujarat and Rajasthan.

  • Kejriwal claims 80% of drugs in Punjab now come from BJP-ruled states.
  • Drug supply from Pakistan has been reduced by 80% under the AAP government.
  • Mundra Port in Gujarat was identified as a potential entry point.
  • AAP government has implemented an anti-drone system to curb border smuggling.

In a significant political escalation, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), alleging a massive shift in the narcotics supply chain in Punjab. Kejriwal claimed that while the Punjab government has successfully curbed 80% of the drug influx from Pakistan, the bulk of the supply—nearly 80%—is now being channeled from BJP-ruled states.

A Shift in Narcotics Supply Chains

Responding to recent criticisms from the BJP regarding drug abuse in Punjab, Kejriwal used social media to flip the narrative. He specifically named Gujarat, Rajasthan, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Delhi as the primary sources of the current drug influx. "Today, 80% of the drugs are coming from BJP-ruled states... Has the BJP failed to stop the drug trade in its own states, or does it not want to stop it?" Kejriwal posted on X.

Technological Countermeasures in Punjab

The AAP leader highlighted the proactive measures taken by the state government since taking office in 2022. He noted that when the current administration assumed power, the vast majority of narcotics entered Punjab via the Pakistan border. To combat this, the Punjab government installed an advanced anti-drone system to intercept illegal shipments being flown across the border, a move that he claims has significantly reduced Pakistani-sourced drugs.

The Mundra Port Allegation

Adding a layer of complexity to the issue, the former Delhi Chief Minister alleged that drugs are entering India through the Mundra Port in Gujarat. He asserted that the responsibility for monitoring and stopping such large-scale maritime trafficking lies squarely with the BJP-led central government. He urged the BJP to take a lesson from Punjab's approach to eliminate narcotics within their own jurisdictions.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that this allegation shifts the discourse from a regional border security issue to a national internal security concern. If drugs are indeed being moved through major commercial ports and across state lines within India, it suggests a highly organized domestic network that requires coordinated intelligence between state and central agencies.

"The transition from cross-border smuggling to intra-state trafficking represents a sophisticated evolution in organized crime that demands a unified national response."

Historical Background

For decades, Punjab has been at the epicenter of the fight against narcotics, primarily due to its proximity to the international border. The use of drones for smuggling has been a growing concern for the Border Security Force (BSF). However, the emergence of domestic supply routes presents a new dimension to a long-standing socio-political crisis in the state.
