Politics rises over Punjab flood relief; victims caught in BJP-Congress-AAP crossfire

Politics rises over the Punjab floods as parties respond differently to the crisis. Congress leaders Bhupesh Baghel and Gurjeet Singh Aujla flagged government inaction while dispatching relief trucks to affected areas. BJP’s Tarun Chugh blamed illegal mining for worsening the disaster, claiming the NDRF help comes from the centre. Meanwhile, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announced ₹5 crore assistance to Punjab’s CM Relief Fund. On the other hand, Punjab Minister Tarunpreet Singh Sond defended the Mann-led state government, saying ration and medicines are being provided, and the administration stands with the victims.
