Punjab cops block its drive, BJP alleges ‘misuse'
Chandigarh: Punjab Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday accused AAP-led Punjab govt of misusing police force to "obstruct" its 'BJP De Sewadar Aa Gye Ne Tuhade Dwaar' campaign at 39 locations.
Punjab BJP state general secretary Anil Sarin said state govt "forcibly stopped the campaign wherein poor and needy people were getting information about central govt's welfare schemes".
In a clarification, an spokesperson of the Punjab govt stated the govt had received credible reports that certain private operators were illegally collecting personal data of local residents, allegedly on behalf of political parties.
In a separate release, the official added, "The Punjab Police have formed several teams to investigate the camps which are allegedly collecting personal information of individuals in the name of govt schemes.
"
Sarin called the action "misuse" of police force. "This act not only denied the people of Punjab access to valuable information and guidance but also exposed the anti-development mindset of the Mann govt," Sarin added.

He added, "While the Centre has ensured free ration, health benefits under Ayushman Bharat, farmer support through PM Kisan Samman Nidhi, and numerous youth and women welfare schemes, the AAP government is creating deliberate obstacles to prevent their implementation on the ground in Punjab."
