New Delhi, Sep 14 (PTI) The BJP on Wednesday accused the Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab of posing a threat to "national security" with its mining policy in border districts, alleging that the party is driven by "corruption" in its programmes.

AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal is the "most corrupt" leader in the country, and his party is a "disease" which is now engineering scams in Punjab after doing so in Delhi, BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia alleged.
