Land scams going on in Punjab
The decision of the Punjab and Haryana High Court to cancel the allotment 350-acre prime land in Wazirabad(Gurgaon) to DLF has provided fresh ammunition to the Opposition to target the Hooda Government in the run-up to the Assembly elections.
The INLD, which had prominently highlighted the Wazirabad land ‘scam’ in its ‘chargesheet’ submitted to the Haryana Governor, recently, was quick to demand Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda resignation on ‘moral grounds’ after the High Court order.
The High Court verdict has vindicated our stand that the Hooda Government allotted prime land to DLF for a song. In fact, undue favours to big builders at the cost of farmers are one of the main elections issues of our party, senior INLD leader Abhay Chautala said here today. The land, acquired for “public purpose”, was transferred to DLF, which was developing air-conditioned apartments and villas and an 18-hole golf course there.
The land scams that are going on Haryana are causing a lot of trouble. The government should seek out the matter immediately or this might lead to a wide agitation.
