Two AAP legislators in Mohali have publicly confronted each other over the Samgauli waste‑disposal plant, highlighting a political rift within the party.
Two AAP members of the Punjab Legislative Assembly met in Mohali this week to dispute the management of the Samgauli waste‑disposal plant. The disagreement, which unfolded in a public setting, centered on the plant’s operational oversight and alleged procedural lapses.
Sources close to the legislators said one MLA questioned the allocation of contracts for the plant, while the other defended the current arrangements, citing compliance with state regulations. Both representatives exchanged pointed remarks, underscoring a growing intra‑party friction over local infrastructure projects.
Political analysts note that the clash could affect the party’s standing in the region, as waste management remains a sensitive issue for residents. The AAP leadership has not issued a formal statement yet, but insiders expect a meeting among senior officials to mediate the dispute and restore unity ahead of upcoming local elections.
