Nayab Singh Saini (Chief Minister of Haryana) has accused the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab of engaging in political vendetta, specifically targeting rivals through police actions. This accusation follows the registration of cases against Rajya Sabha MP Sandeep Pathak and recent raids on MP Rajinder Gupta's Trident unit in Barnala by the Punjab Pollution Control Board (PPCB). During a media briefing in Ludhiana, Saini urged Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal to publish a white paper detailing the promises made to voters and their actual implementation. He criticized the Punjab government for withdrawing security from MPs Raghav Chaddha and Harbhajan Singh, claiming that such tactics are counterproductive. Saini highlighted the unfulfilled ₹1,000 monthly allowance for women and questioned job creation figures, suggesting that businesses are leaving Punjab due to poor governance. He expressed concerns over rising crime rates, particularly extortion and violence affecting the public and traders. Saini advocated for a political shift towards a 'double engine government' under Prime Minister Narendra Modi to restore governance and investor confidence. During his address, he condemned the Punjab government's spending on publicity over welfare schemes. AAP leaders protested against Saini's visit, criticizing the BJP-led Centre for its treatment of Punjab and the lack of compensation for flood damages.
