Union minister criticizes Punjab AAP for scrapping textile project

hindustantimes.com

Union minister Giriraj Singh accused the Aam Aadmi Party-led Punjab government of neglecting Ludhiana's textile industry by scrapping a major textile park project. The project, initially set to attract ₹10,000 crore in investment, was canceled amid protests. Singh reported unsuccessful attempts to contact Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann during his visit to Ludhiana. He claimed that no senior officials from the state industry department met him, hindering discussions on industrial welfare. In response, Rajya Sabha MP Sanjeev Arora defended the AAP government, stating it has made significant contributions to the industrial sector. The textile park project was scrapped in July 2022 due to environmental concerns raised by activists.
