Chandigarh (Gurpreet Singh): The political temperature rose on Friday after Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann strongly responded to accusations from the Bharatiya Janata Party over the recent explosion outside its Chandigarh office.
Rejecting the criticism, Mann alleged that the BJP frequently resorts to assigning blame instead of taking responsibility. He suggested that the party has a long-standing pattern of attributing setbacks to others, regardless of the situation.
Taking a dig at the opposition, Mann said that figures such as Jawaharlal Nehru, Lal Bahadur Shastri, and B. R. Ambedkar have often been cited by the BJP in its criticisms. He added that while he is being blamed for incidents in Chandigarh, developments in the national capital are frequently linked to Arvind Kejriwal.
The exchange has intensified the ongoing confrontation between the Aam Aadmi Party and the BJP, with both sides engaging in a war of words over responsibility and governance.
The controversy continues to unfold as agencies investigate the blast, even as political rhetoric sharpens around the issue.
