Punjab BJP Slams AAP After Alleged Attack On Leaders

Punjab BJP president Ashwani Sharma on Sunday launched a sharp attack on the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party, alleging that AAP workers and leaders turned a political protest into “open hooliganism” by attacking BJP offices and leaders in Punjab.

Ashwani Sharma specifically accused Balachaur MLA Sukhwinder Sukhi, who recently joined AAP from the Shiromani Akali Dal, of entering the BJP district office in Balachaur (Nawanshahr) along with supporters and allegedly assaulting BJP leaders and vandalising property in the presence of police personnel.

“Arvind Kejriwal has already given corrupt leaders a licence to loot Punjab after inducting them into AAP. Has he now also given them a licence to assault people? Sharma questioned while addressing the media in Chandigarh.

The Punjab BJP chief said similar incidents of “misconduct and intimidation” were also reported from Ludhiana and other places during AAP’s statewide protests against the Enforcement Directorate’s action against Rajya Sabha MP Sanjeev Arora.(UPDATED ON 10TH MAY 2026)
