Bhartiya Janata Party's state president, Sunil Jakhar, has challenged Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, stating that the BJP will once again organise a camp for the benefit of the poor on August 22 at Raipur village near Abohar, from where the Mann government's police arrested the party's leaders. The BJP president said that he would personally attend this camp.

Jakhar said that this attack was not on the workers of the Bhartiya Janata Party, but on the poor people of Punjab who were being given the benefits of central government schemes through these camps. He said that CM Bhagwant Mann's government is not doing anything for the poor and is obstructing people from receiving the benefits of central government schemes.

He said that today, the party's district president, Sukhwinder Singh Kaka Kamboj, and Vandana Sangwan were arrested from Raipur village in the Balluana assembly constituency of Fazilka district because they organised a similar camp there.

Jakhar said that he would personally set up a similar camp in the same village tomorrow. He said that the government cannot stop the BJP by engaging in anti-democratic activities.
