Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said the drug problem in Punjab "exists even today and is increasing", and called for strict action against the menace.
Gandhi is the second senior Congress leader to raise the issue of the drug problem in Punjab, which is ruled by the AAP government, after Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge.
Addressing a poll rally in favour of Congress' Ludhiana candidate Amrinder Singh Raja Warring in Ludhiana's Dakha, Gandhi also spoke about his party's poll promises, including the Mahalakshmi scheme, loan waiver for farmers and ensuring legal guarantee on minimum support price if the INDIA bloc comes to power.
