On Tuesday, Tamil Nadu BJP president K Annamalai lashed out at the incumbent Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab after the gruesome murder of singer turned politician Sidhu Moosewala. The BJP leader further alleged that under just 2 months of the AAP government, the lives of the people of Punjab have become a living nightmare and added that no one is feeling safe in the northern state.

Sharing an info-graphic report card of over two months of AAP governance in Punjab, the BJP leader alleged that around 6-0 people have died in the state due to drug overdose. The BJP leader said, "The Punjab dream promised by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is becoming a living nightmare for all Punjab brothers & sisters."
