AAP MLA breaks ranks to criticize Punjab school staffing

Maiserkhana claims his repeated private petitions to address vacancies and infrastructure deficits went ignored, forcing him to take his grievances to the public. He insists his dissent is not an attack on the institution, but a desperate move to secure the future of the students in his district. The MLA noted that his attempts to secure a meeting with the Chief Minister to resolve these systemic failures have been unsuccessful, leaving him with no choice but to speak out.

The public admission has provided political ammunition for the opposition. BJP leader Ravneet Singh Bittu argued that the MLA’s distress confirms the disparity between the administration's public narrative and the actual state of classrooms. Meanwhile, Congress MP Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa highlighted the irony of a ruling-party representative being unable to access his own leadership, questioning how ordinary citizens could hope for a hearing if their own elected officials are shut out of the process.
