He raised constitutional concerns and questioned the silence of Punjab's leadership on the issue.

BJP Punjab's working president Ashwani Sharma has voiced concerns about the presence and hierarchy of names on the inauguration plaques of 109 new Aam Aadmi Clinics and two irrigation projects in Fatehgarh Sahib.

According to Sharma, Delhi-based Aam Aadmi Party leaders, notably Arvind Kejriwal, have placed their names above those of Punjab's Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and his cabinet ministers on the plaques, which raises serious constitutional questions. Sharma emphasized that Kejriwal holds no official position within the Punjab government.
