BJP leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa criticized the AAP government in Punjab for failing to maintain law and order. "Four people shot dead in Batala's Vithwan village due to an ongoing feud between rival groups. This brutal incident exposes yet another failure of the @AapPunjab government in maintaining law and order. Punjab looks like no man's land since AAP came to power. How many more lives will be lost before CM @BhagwantMannji finally takes action?" Sirsa tweeted.
