  "account": "On Wednesday, Aam Aadmi Party MP Malvinder Singh Kang criticized the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA), accusing it of being a \"centre of loot\" and a \"den of corruption\". His remarks targeted his own government led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. Kang accused officials of selectively demolishing shops in villages, suggesting that bribes influenced the decision to spare some structures. GMADA responded that 57 unauthorized structures had been removed from five villages. Kang's intervention often aligns with his defense of AAP and its policies, including a previous defense of the party against internal dissent and a critique of the government's land-pooling policy. He has also raised concerns about illegal sand mining and defended the government against opposition criticism. Despite facing opposition allegations of dissent within AAP, Kang maintains he is merely advocating for transparency and accountability.",
