Fatehgarh Sahib, July 14

All three women councillors of AAP from ward numbers 3, 9 and 13 of the Sirhind-Fatehgarh Sahib Municipal Council raised slogans against Fatehgarh Sahib Congress MLA Kuljit Singh Nagra, when he was about to leave after attending a meeting of municipal councillors held here today.

Councillors Harvinder Kaur, Asha Rani and Devendra Kaur said a meeting of councillors was called and they could not reach in time. When they reached the office, the MLA came out and was about to sit in his car. They said they told him that the council officials were discriminating against their wards and no safai sewak was allotted to them.

Devendra said she told the MLA that a ‘safai sewak’ had misbehaved with her at the behest of a Congress worker deputed by him in her ward.

Asha said she told the MLA about rampant corruption in the tendering process. They said instead of redressing their grievances, the MLA sat in his car, forcing them to raise slogans against him.

The MLA said the councillors raised slogans to hog the limelight. Denying allegations of discrimination, he said those wards were getting more funds instead. — OC
