Tarun Chugh, the national general secretary of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has expressed serious concerns regarding the deteriorating law and order situation in Punjab. He cited the recent murder of Punjab Police Assistant Sub-Inspector Joga Singh near Majitha in Amritsar and violent unrest at Kapurthala Central Jail as evidence of a 'total administrative collapse' under Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's leadership. Chugh demanded Mann's resignation, arguing that if police personnel are not safe, ordinary citizens cannot expect security either. He noted that the Kapurthala jail incident, where inmates attacked staff and set barracks ablaze, highlights a complete breakdown of prison administration. Furthermore, Chugh claimed that Punjab has seen a rise in criminal activities, including extortion and targeted killings, which he attributes to the increasing audacity of criminals under the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government. He described the state's jails as 'safe havens' for organized crime, where gangsters operate without fear, and warned that Punjab is being pushed towards 'Jungle Raj' characterized by fear and lawlessness.
