The state is going to vote for the assembly elections on February 4. The Shiromani Akali Dal-BJP alliance has been in power in Punjab since 2007.

The opposition Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party have blamed SAD-BJP alliance in the state responsible for widespread use of narcotics by the youngsters.

Singh asked voters to elect the SAD-BJP alliance once again as they would provide corruption-free government in Punjab.

"There has been no corruption allegations levelled against the Centre in the last two and a half years."
