Row Over Sukhi’s Party Status Mars Punjab Assembly’s VB-G RAM G Special Session

Sukhwinder Kumar Sukhi’s move to AAP remains in limbo, his resignation unaccepted, with a disqualification case pending in the high court.

Overview

  • During the one-day sitting, Leader of Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa pressed the House to clarify which party Banga MLA Sukhwinder Kumar Sukhi represents.
  • AAP leaders defended Sukhi, with Aman Arora comparing his position to Sandeep Jakhar’s and colleagues accusing Congress of trying to stifle a Dalit voice.
  • Given the floor, Sukhi praised the Bhagwant Mann government’s free power, clinics, and travel initiatives while seated on the Opposition benches with SAD members.
  • Speaker Kultar Singh Sandhwan named Congress MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira for disrupting the chief minister’s speech and had him escorted out, triggering a sharp Mann–Bajwa exchange.
  • The special session centered on a resolution opposing the Centre’s VB-G RAM G law replacing MGNREGA, and no decision at the sitting altered Sukhi’s legislative status.
