Former Minister Criticizes AAP Govt Over Plot Price Reduction Omission
A former minister, Balbir Singh Sidhu, is upset because a government advertisement didn't mention a reduction in the price of plots in Mohali.
He says the government promised to lower the price from Rs 3,164 to Rs 2,325 per square metre, but the advertisement didn't say this.
He thinks the government is not being honest and is causing trouble for the people who bought the plots.
The local MLA, Kulwant Singh, says the decision is still waiting for approval from the Cabinet and the advertisement was just for checking addresses.
Nearly 4,000 people are affected, and they are still waiting for a clear answer.
Former Minister Balbir Singh Sidhu criticized the AAP government for not mentioning the reduction in plot prices in an advertisement.
The reduction was from Rs 3,164 to Rs 2,325 per square metre for plots in sectors 76 to 80 in Mohali.
Sidhu alleged that despite a high-level meeting with senior officials, the decision has not been implemented, betraying public trust.
MLA Kulwant Singh responded that the decision is awaiting Cabinet approval and the advertisement was for address verification.
Nearly 4,000 plot allottees are affected, and the issue remains a subject of political and administrative debate.
