Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched a blistering attack on the Congress, alleging that the party turned north India into a narcotics hotspot during its rule before 2014.
Shah highlighted a recent drug bust in Delhi, where authorities seized over 560 kilograms of cocaine and additional quantities of other narcotics, totaling Rs 5,620 crore in value. The key accused, Tushar Goel, was identified as a member of the Delhi Youth Congress' RTI cell.
Shah asserted that the BJP has achieved far more significant results in combating drug trafficking since Narendra Modi assumed office in 2014, reflecting on the remarkable seizure figures during the party's governance compared to the previous decade.
