The Aam Aadmi Party (@AamAadmiParty) has gone on the offensive on the social media platform X, posting a sharp message that directly accuses its political rival of being tied to the drug trade in Punjab. In the post, the party referred to the rival outfit as the "ED Party."
What the post said
In its statement, AAP claimed that office-bearers of the "ED Party" had been caught selling drugs in Punjab. The party framed this as a fresh case and used it to put the rival party squarely on the spot.
The charge of official protection
AAP pushed the allegation further by arguing this was not a one-off. According to the party, even earlier — during the "ED Party's" coalition government — chitta was delivered door to door across Punjab using government vehicles and under official protection. In other words, the party suggested the supply of narcotics had been organised and shielded by those in power.
The Gujarat route claim
The post made another notable assertion: that at present, 70% of the drugs reaching Punjab are arriving via the Gujarat route. By citing this figure, the party sought to draw attention to the pathways and origins of the narcotics trade.
The post closed with AAP addressing the people of Punjab as it continued its message, with this final portion accompanied by a link.
