In Punjab, political tensions have escalated as the BJP accuses the AAP government of forcefully halting their awareness camps. These camps, the BJP claims, aim to facilitate access to central government benefits for the state's citizens.

The BJP alleged that several leaders were detained at various campsites across Punjab, including former Union Minister Preneet Kaur, amidst claims of political interference by the AAP administration. The BJP has sought intervention from Governor Gulab Chand Kataria, terming the actions as unconstitutional.

The Punjab Police contends it's investigating unauthorized data collection at these camps, amidst accusations against both parties. The BJP vows to continue its outreach activities, despite the alleged obstruction, to ensure the public accesses Modi government welfare schemes.
