Sukhbir Singh Maiserkhana, the MLA representing the Maur constituency in Punjab, was expelled from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) after publicly criticizing the state of government schools. Maiserkhana had alleged that there is a significant lack of teachers within the public education system, a claim that directly challenged the party's narrative regarding its governance of the state's schools.

In response to these public remarks, the AAP leadership moved to expel Maiserkhana, citing his actions as 'anti-party activity.' The party maintains that internal grievances should be addressed through official party channels rather than through public statements that could undermine the administration's credibility. While Maiserkhana has highlighted staffing gaps, the party has not publicly addressed the specific merits of his claims regarding teacher shortages, focusing instead on the disciplinary breach caused by his public dissent. The expulsion marks a notable internal conflict within the Punjab AAP unit, highlighting the tension between party discipline and the freedom of elected representatives to voice concerns about public services.
