In a tumultuous session of the Punjab Legislative Assembly, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann became the focal point of heated allegations. Opposition parties accused Mann of appearing inebriated during the assembly proceedings, triggering a fierce exchange between the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the opposition Congress.

The uproar began when Congress leaders insisted that the Chief Minister undergo an alcohol test, asserting that Mann's conduct seemed indicative of intoxication. The demands escalated into a stormy confrontation on the assembly floor, with each side hurling accusations.
