AAP Govt Shielding Mining Mafia? BJP’s Sharp Attack After Ropar Firing
BJP leader Ajayvir Singh Lalpura launched a scathing attack on the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab on August 3, 2025, over its alleged failure to apprehend those responsible for a recent firing incident in Nurpur, Ropar. He accused the state government of blatant inaction.
Lalpura alleged that the AAP government was deliberately shielding individuals with links to illegal mining activities that flourished during the previous Congress regime. An FIR has already been registered, he pointed out, highlighting the administration’s perceived negligence.
The BJP leader’s statement comes amidst growing concerns over law and order in the state. He directly accused the AAP government of protecting criminals, undermining public trust and confidence in the justice system.
This incident underscores the ongoing tension between the ruling AAP and the opposition BJP in Punjab. The BJP’s allegations raise serious questions about the state government’s commitment to tackling illegal mining and maintaining law and order, potentially impacting the upcoming elections.
