AAP accuses BJP of failing to control Delhi’s drug menace as Saurabh Bharadwaj raises concerns over alleged open drug sales.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has accused the BJP-led government in Delhi of failing to control the growing drug menace, alleging that narcotics are being sold openly in several parts of the national capital. The party has claimed that Delhi is increasingly facing a serious drug problem and questioned the government’s commitment to making the city drug-free.
AAP Delhi State President Saurabh Bharadwaj raised the issue on Thursday, pointing to complaints from elected representatives, councillors and Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) about the alleged open sale of drugs in different neighbourhoods.
The Delhi Drug Menace has become a major political issue, with AAP questioning the BJP government’s handling of narcotics-related activities and demanding stronger action against those involved.
BJP MLA Allegedly Presents Smack Packet to District Magistrate
AAP highlighted an incident involving a BJP MLA from Rohtas Nagar, claiming that the legislator purchased a packet of smack allegedly being sold openly and presented it before the District Magistrate.
According to the party, the incident itself raises serious questions about the administration’s response to drug-related activities in the area.
AAP argued that if a ruling-party MLA had to bring the issue directly before the district administration, it reflected the seriousness of the situation and the need for immediate intervention.
The party also questioned the BJP’s repeated statements about making Punjab drug-free, saying that the government should first address the alleged drug problem within Delhi.
Saurabh Bharadwaj Says Drug Sales Continue in Several Areas
Addressing the issue, AAP Delhi chief Saurabh Bharadwaj said that complaints about the open sale of drugs were being received almost daily from MLAs, councillors and RWAs.
He identified several neighbourhoods where residents have reportedly raised concerns about narcotics-related activities.
In Northeast Delhi, Seelampur, Seemapuri and Rohtas Nagar were mentioned as areas facing serious challenges. In Northwest Delhi, Badana, Sultanpuri and Mangolpuri were also highlighted in connection with the alleged drug trade.
Bharadwaj said that repeated complaints from public representatives had not resulted in the effective action residents expected.
He further argued that the concerns raised by a BJP legislator himself demonstrated that the issue could not be ignored.

AAP Questions BJP Government’s Drug Control Measures
AAP launched a sharp political attack on the BJP, accusing the ruling party of failing to address the drug problem despite its promises and public statements.
The party described Delhi’s government as a four-engine administration and alleged that the city was moving towards becoming a drug capital rather than a drug-free national capital.
AAP also referred to a joint report by the Centre and the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), claiming that the findings indicate an increase in the number of drug users in Delhi under the present government.
The Delhi Drug Menace has therefore become a point of political confrontation, with AAP demanding accountability and stronger enforcement measures.
Party Demands Immediate Action Against Open Drug Sales
Saurabh Bharadwaj stressed that the alleged availability of narcotics in residential areas was a serious concern for families and local communities.
He said that complaints from elected representatives and RWAs should receive prompt attention from the administration. According to him, the repeated appeals made by public representatives, including those from the ruling party, should not be ignored.
AAP maintained that the administration must take effective steps to prevent the alleged open sale of drugs and address the concerns of affected residents.
Delhi’s Drug Problem Becomes a Political Flashpoint
The latest allegations have intensified the political debate over law enforcement and drug control in the national capital.
AAP has used the alleged Rohtas Nagar incident to question the BJP government’s performance and demand a stronger response to narcotics-related activities.
The Delhi Drug Menace remains a serious public concern, particularly in neighbourhoods where residents and local representatives have raised complaints.
The controversy has also placed pressure on the administration to respond to allegations of open drug sales and demonstrate effective action against the illegal drug trade.
While AAP has levelled serious accusations against the BJP government, the claims regarding the incident and the extent of drug activity require verification by the relevant authorities.
