Citing these concerns, he demanded the immediate resignation of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, urging the party leadership to take decisive action to restore law and order.
The state government has not issued an official response to the allegations at the time of reporting, and political analysts note that the remarks add pressure ahead of upcoming local elections.
