Land Grab Row: AAP Faces Farmers’ Fury in Rajasthan
Farmers in Purhiran and Shergarh villages of Rajasthan are up in arms against the state government’s new land pooling policy. They fear the policy will severely impact their livelihoods and economic stability.
The simmering discontent erupted into open defiance with villagers effectively barring entry to Aam Aadmi Party leaders. This follows growing concerns over the policy’s implications for their agricultural lands.
The farmers have vowed to intensify their agitation, threatening a large-scale tractor march on July 30, 2025, to register their strong opposition to the policy’s implementation.
This escalating rural unrest poses a significant challenge to the ruling AAP government in Rajasthan, highlighting the potential for widespread backlash against controversial land acquisition policies. The upcoming tractor march will be a crucial test of the government’s ability to address farmers’ concerns and maintain social harmony in the state.
