In the wake of an explosion outside the Punjab BJP's office, party working president Ashwani Sharma has condemned the AAP government for a perceived decline in law and order within the state. The blast, which occurred near the party's Chandigarh premises, prompted a rapid response from the authorities, with multiple investigation teams deployed to solve the case.

Chandigarh Police have launched a manhunt for two suspects believed to have executed the attack. While no casualties were reported, significant damage was done to vehicles parked near the site. An FIR has been filed under various legal acts, and the National Investigation Agency is now involved in the probe.

A video emerging on social media shows individuals purportedly involved in the incident, adding fuel to political accusations. Sharma linked the explosion to a pattern of recent violent attacks across Punjab, critiquing both the state government and its handling of the situation. This event raises further concerns about the stability and security of the region.
