The last quarter of the Punjab election season cycle is in full form, so is AAP leader and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal. After winning Delhi, he's taking his appeal of quick fixes to deep rooted problems to Punjab.

Last month, he promised something way too heady - ending Punjab's drug problems in 30 days.

"If AAP comes to power, it can put an end to the drugs business and mafias in Punjab within a month," Kejriwal claimed at a public rally in Amritsar.

Ending the drug mafia, a multi-billion dollar business is a mammoth task for such a short deadline -and tougher in a state that loves getting high.

But does the AAP supremo have any clue of how freeing a state from drugs works?

Hundreds of kilos of various drugs routinely land in Delhi, supplied from international syndicates and local suppliers. Even small drug raids regularly bust dealers with kilos of heroin

And just last month, Delhi was discovered to be one of the many India hubs of psychotropic drugs

And this week, it was found that lack of functioning de-addiction wards has led to "3,000 to 4,000 children are waiting for the detoxification process", despite a May 2016 deadline

So Delhi kids who are desperate to stop getting high have no hope - yet Kejriwal wants to end Punjab's drug problem.

Is it a surprise that a year and some months after coming to power, and right after announcing their bid for Punjab, the Delhi government has finally decided to ramp up deaddiction initiatives.
