Congress to Battle AAP’s Land Policy: 2027 Poll Promise
The Punjab Congress has vowed a fierce fight against the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government’s controversial land pooling policy. The party plans a complete rollback if voted to power in the 2027 Assembly elections.
Congress leaders have expressed serious reservations about the policy, citing potential for increased debt, land grabbing, and severe damage to the state’s agricultural economy. They argue the policy is unnecessary given the existing urban land availability.
The party believes the policy will disproportionately affect farmers and rural communities, pushing many into further economic hardship. This opposition is expected to be a key plank in their 2027 election campaign.
This escalating political battle over land acquisition highlights a major fault line in Punjab’s governance. The upcoming election will see the land pooling policy at the forefront of the debate, directly impacting the livelihoods of millions of Punjabis.
