Bhagwant Mann blames BJP for blasts, party threatens legal action to oust CM | India News
CHANDIGARH/NEW DELHI: A political war has erupted in Punjab over the back-to-back blasts in Jalandhar and Amritsar, with the BJP and SAD criticizing the state government over law and order and the Chief Minister god value The BJP is allegedly trying to create “Bangla-style” unrest to win the 2027 elections. The involvement of Pakistani spy agency ISI on the advice of BJP DGP Gaurav Yadav claimed the Aam Aadmi Party leader was making divisive statements to disrupt the anniversary of Operation Sindhu. “This is an insensitive statement,” BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said, pointing out the contradiction between Mann’s allegations and Yadav’s statement. BJP state chief Sunil Zakhar warned that his party would resort to all legal means to remove “an irresponsible standard”. As Punjab woke up to the news of the blasts, Mann said, “This is the BJP’s style of working … to contest elections, they create riots, small explosions and divide people…” SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal called for Mann’s resignation, pointing out that three blasts took place in 10 days.
