INLD facing difficulties to cash on change-of-land accusation on Congress
After the adoption of an aggressive stand in its election campaign, accusing the Congress on the change-of-land use (CLU) issue, the INLD is finding it difficult to cash in on the issue after what the Punjab and Haryana High Court did by cancelling the land allotted to realty giant DLF.
The INLD has gone on the defensive after it was discovered that it was the INLD Government, which conceived the project and acquired land for the Leisure Project at Wazirabad (Gurgaon) in 2003. Initially, it was thought that the land in question was that in which Congress President Sonia Gandhi son-in-law, Robert Vadra, has had stakes.
All opposition parties upped their ante and launched a scathing attack on the Congress, calling CLU as a continuous and unabated loot, but once the INLD and the BJP realised that the land in question was acquired for “public purpose” and then transferred to DLF for developing air-conditioned apartments and villas, along with an 18-hole golf course, the opposition parties, mainly the INLD, dropped referring to the High Court judgement on the issue.
