Kejriwal’s Land Pooling Policy: Badal Alleges Delhi Builder Conspiracy
Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Sukhbir Singh Badal has launched a scathing attack on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, accusing him of orchestrating a clandestine plan to transfer Punjab’s fertile farmland to Delhi-based builders. Badal alleges this is being done through a controversial land pooling policy, with lucrative kickbacks as the alleged motive.
The SAD vehemently opposes the policy, citing concerns over widespread corruption and potential exploitation of farmers. The party has vowed to employ all available means to thwart any attempts at land acquisition under this scheme.
The Punjab government, however, maintains that the land pooling policy is a crucial step towards facilitating much-needed urban development in the state. They insist the policy will bring significant infrastructural improvements and economic benefits.
Badal’s serious allegations have ignited a major political firestorm in Punjab, with the opposition gearing up for a fierce showdown. The coming days will be crucial in determining the fate of this contentious policy and its impact on Punjab’s agrarian landscape. The controversy highlights the ongoing struggle between development and safeguarding the interests of the farming community, a critical voting bloc in the state.
