The Bharatiya Janata Party announced a statewide anti‑drug yatra covering all 117 Punjab assembly constituencies, timed ahead of the upcoming state elections.
The Bharatiya Janata Party has unveiled plans to launch an anti‑drug yatra that will sweep across every one of Punjab's 117 assembly constituencies. The initiative is scheduled before the state's upcoming legislative assembly elections, signalling the party's focus on the drug‑related concerns that have featured prominently in public discourse.
Party officials say the yatra will serve to underscore the BJP's commitment to combating drug abuse in the region and to mobilise voters around this issue. Organisers intend to hold a series of public meetings and rallies in each constituency as part of the campaign.
The move comes as the BJP seeks to broaden its electoral footprint in Punjab ahead of the polls, positioning the anti‑drug agenda as a central theme of its outreach to the electorate. No further details on dates or participating leaders were disclosed at the time of the announcement.
