AAP Suspends Punjab MLA Sukhveer Singh Maiserkhana After Emotional Video
· India · Times of India, The Hindu, Indian Express
The Aam Aadmi Party suspended Maur assembly constituency MLA Sukhveer Singh Maiserkhana from the party's primary membership with immediate effect. The disciplinary action followed an emotional video posted by Maiserkhana on social media highlighting a severe shortage of teachers in government schools within his constituency. In the video, the MLA appealed for adequate teaching staff and voiced the difficulties faced by students. BJP leader Ravneet Singh Bittu shared the video and criticized the Punjab government over its education claims. AAP stated the suspension was due to anti-party activities and indiscipline, without explicitly linking it to the video remarks.
Why it matters
The suspension of a ruling-party MLA over public criticism of state governance highlights internal political friction and puts pressure on the administration's education policy.
