In a dramatic session of the Punjab assembly, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann responded to allegations from the opposition that he appeared drunk while addressing the assembly. The Congress party demanded an alcohol test for Mann, questioning the integrity of his leadership. In retaliation, Punjab Finance Minister Harpal Cheema accused the Congress of deflecting attention from a land encroachment case involving Congress MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira. Cheema claimed that the investigation revealed Khaira's involvement with the land mafia, leading to a walkout by Congress members in protest. Despite the controversy, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) successfully passed a confidence motion in the assembly, maintaining its majority with 94 MLAs out of 117. This follows a recent setback for the AAP, where seven of its Rajya Sabha MPs resigned and merged with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), raising questions about the party's stability.
