Punjab Minister Arora Faces Conflict of Interest Storm
Congress intensifies its attack on Punjab Industries Minister Sanjeev Arora, demanding his immediate removal. The party alleges a blatant conflict of interest, claiming Arora continued to serve as managing director of a real estate firm even after assuming ministerial office and during his time as a Member of Parliament.
This serious accusation follows the filing of a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) against Arora. The PIL alleges misuse of power and illegal land conversions, further fueling the controversy.
The Opposition’s call for Arora’s resignation is gaining momentum, raising serious questions about transparency and accountability in the state government. The allegations, if proven, could significantly impact the credibility of the ruling dispensation.
The timing of this controversy is particularly sensitive, coming just months before crucial state elections. The ensuing political battle promises to be intense, with the Opposition likely to exploit this issue to its fullest advantage. The people of Punjab will be watching closely to see how the government responds to these serious allegations.
