Political War Over Bus Colors: AAP’s Pannu Fires Back at Akalis—”Your Rural Buses & Water Bus Were Same Shade”
Ludhiana, March 4 (2026)
Punjab’s PRTC buses repainted controversy ignites political battlefield. AAP spokesperson Baltej Pannu hit back at opposition accusations of party flag colors (blue-yellow), claiming Akali-BJP govt started it.
Pannu reminded: 2016 Akali rural buses same scheme; even Sukhbir Badal’s “water-running bus” matched. “Opponents forgot their mistakes—public remembers. Need medicine to recall Bargari/Kotkapura too.”
Pannu visited injured anti-drug activist Shakti Pandey at Oswal Hospital (Fauji Colony shooting). Assured family: “Govt stands firm; traffickers fleeing Punjab due to crackdown—not spared at any cost.”
Pandey Family: Vowed continued fight with police support to make colony drug-free. Govt assigned local MLA Kulwant Singh Sidhu for full assistance.
