Babulal Marandi criticises Jharkhand Land Mutation Bill, urges state govt to withdraw it

Former Andhra Pradesh Minister Gudivada Amarnath on Thursday said that the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) has filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) challenging the land policy of the state government, alleging that large extents of valuable public land are being allotted to a few real estate companies at very low prices.

The attached properties are in the form of land parcels situated in Goa, Kerala, Karnataka, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Jharkhand, Maharashtra, Delhi, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, and Rajasthan.

Assam Congress President Gaurav Gogoi on Thursday said that he will "try to have a courtesy call" with Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren as the JMM is looking to make an entry into Assam's electoral politics ahead of the Legislative Assembly polls.

In his letter, Odisha CM wrote, 'The incident cast an avoidable shadow on the image of Bengal, a land known for its culture, civility and respect for democratic institutions."

According to an official release, through this decision, CM has adopted a farmer-centric approach to safeguard rural farmers' interests by ensuring the transparent and accurate resolution of objections related to land measurements after promulgation, while also promoting Ease of Doing Business.
