Babushahi Bureau
Chandigarh, July 27, 2026: Punjab BJP president Kewal Singh Dhillon met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday and discussed a range of issues concerning the state, including law and order, farmers' concerns, drug abuse and development.
Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Dhillon said he had an open discussion with the Prime Minister on several key issues affecting Punjab.
He claimed that Prime Minister Modi is committed to restoring Punjab's past glory and ensuring the state's overall development.
"From the issue of gangsters to the concerns of farmers, every matter was discussed in detail. The Prime Minister wants to make Punjab vibrant again. A state that once ranked among the best has fallen behind, and Punjab now needs a double-engine government to move forward," Dhillon said.
He added that discussions also covered the state's drug menace. Referring to recent visits by senior BJP leaders, Dhillon said Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Prime Minister Modi and Union Minister Nitin Nabin have all visited Punjab, and more such visits by the Prime Minister are expected in the future.
Commenting on the recent attack on the BJP office in Sangrur, Dhillon alleged that the Punjab government had failed to maintain law and order. He criticised the Aam Aadmi Party government, claiming that Punjab was being "run from Delhi."
On the alleged paper leak in the state, the Punjab BJP chief said the government should take responsibility and ensure accountability.
Further details regarding the meeting were not immediately available.
