AAP’s edu, health models failed to bring change: Supriya

Congress national social media in-charge Supriya Shrinate raised concerns over the education and healthcare models of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government, claiming that they had failed to translate into meaningful improvements.

Speaking at a press conference at the campaign office of Congress candidate Bharat Bhushan Ashu, Shrinate pointed out that state schools were facing a shortage of teachers while hospitals struggling with lack of doctors, despite AAP’s promises.

She criticised the government’s financial management, stating that Punjab had taken a ?1.5 lakh crore loan in three years and questioned the increased spending on advertisements, which, she claimed, had significantly risen under the AAP tenure.

Shrinate also commented on law and order in the state, mentioning concerns about safety and governance. Congress MP Amar Singh, present at the event, addressed claims regarding the Halwara airport, stating that the project had been initiated in 2018 and was not solely an achievement of the current government.

Meanwhile, Ashu, who is also Punjab Congress working president, called upon AAP supporters to reflect on their role within the party, stating that Punjabi workers should have greater recognition in leadership positions.

During his address, Ashu pointed out that Rajya Sabha seats were allocated to individuals from outside the state, suggesting that local party workers had failed to get sufficient opportunities.
