BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh criticized Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann, blaming his government's alleged illegal mining practices for exacerbating the state's flood crisis. Chugh claimed the AAP government failed to properly assess the damage, while the central government has provided substantial disaster management funds. Prime Minister Modi is scheduled to visit flood-affected Gurdaspur to review relief efforts.
