During his address, Rahul Gandhi asserted that the administration in Punjab remains managed from outside the state, leading to gaps in addressing core public grievances. He expressed concern over the persistent drug issue and its impact on local communities, affirming that effective governance requires decisive local action. Recalling his interaction with late singer Sidhu Moosewala, he pointed out that institutional oversights in security management need thorough evaluation. Additionally, Rahul Gandhi declared his readiness to engage in a direct, open debate with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on key policy and political matters.
