AAP's own MLA exposing so-called education revolution in Punjab: Tarun Chugh

Senior BJP leader Tarun Chugh revealed on Sunday (October 4, 2026) that one of the AAP government's own legislators, Sukhveer Singh Maiserkhana, has exposed the so-called education revolution in Punjab. This revelation came after Maiserkhana accused the AAP of not addressing the teacher shortage in government schools in his constituency, Maur, in Bathinda district.

The AAP denied Maiserkhana's claims and suspended him for "anti-party activities and indiscipline". Chugh pointed out the discrepancy between the AAP's claims and the reality on the ground, citing issues such as lack of benches, roofs, and basic facilities in government schools. He also highlighted the contradiction in Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, who claims to be the son of a teacher, while teachers continue to protest for their demands.

Chugh emphasized the need for the government to respect the democratic right to peaceful dissent and ensure that citizens are treated with dignity within the framework of law. He also mentioned ongoing efforts by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to develop Amritsar as a center of education, employment, connectivity, tourism, and modern infrastructure.
