Punjab govt misusing its power: BJP Leader Chugh

BJP has accused the AAP government in Punjab of misusing its powers and working with a spirit of revenge, hours after Congress MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira was arrested by police in a drugs case. BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh echoed Congress' criticism of Khaira's arrest.

A government that came in the name of "transformation" is misusing its power and is doing politics based on revenge, which is unfortunate, he said, replying to a question on the arrest. "Action should be taken if there is something wrong but it should not be borne out of the spirit of revenge," he said.
