Drug menace dominates BJP’s poll campaign in Punjab as it cuts across caste, religion, age

The BJP is centering its Punjab election campaign on the drug problem, aiming to appeal across caste, religion and age groups. The party, which has historically had limited influence in the state, is using the issue to try to secure a foothold in the border region. The strategy reflects a broader effort to broaden its voter base.
