The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has expelled Maur MLA Sukhveer Singh Maiserkhana for alleged anti-party activities after he publicly criticized the government over teacher shortages in Punjab’s state-run schools. During an emotional social media live session, Maiserkhana stated that several schools in his constituency—including one where his own children study—suffer from acute staff shortages despite multiple appeals to senior leadership and officials.
In addition to education grievances, Maiserkhana voiced deep frustration over being sidelined and humiliated within the party, further claiming he faced a political conspiracy during the Tarn Taran election. While AAP dismissed his statements as false rumors aimed at damaging the party’s image, the opposition Shiromani Akali Dal, led by Bikram Singh Majithia, seized on the MLA’s remarks to attack Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s administration, claiming the incident exposes the hollowness of the government’s “Siksha Kranti” education reform claims.
