Sidhu Moosewala Killed: Tajinder Bagga Blames AAP For 'collapse Of Law & Order' In Punjab

BJP leader Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga slammed Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo Arvind Kejriwal and Rajya Sabha member Raghav Chadha after Punjabi singer and Congress leader Sidhu Moosewala was assassinated in Punjab's Mansa district on Sunday evening. Taking to Twitter, Bagga blamed the AAP leaders for the deteriorating law and order situation in Punjab.

"Law and order has collapsed in Punjab. Only 2 people @ArvindKejriwal and @raghav_chadha  are responsible who are operating this govt from Delhi," Tajinder Pal Bagga wrote in a Twitter post.

Notably, the Aam Aadmi Party has come under immense criticism over the Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann-led administration's decision to withdraw Moosewala's security cover a day before he was shot dead. Several opposition parties are blaming the AAP government for the Punjabi singer's murder.

Meanwhile, investigating the case, police seized two vehicles and recovered multiple fake registation plates in connection with the murder.
