Punjab: Mann govt’s land pooling scheme unconstitutional, anti-farmer, says Chugh

Ludhiana, Jun 13 (UNI) BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh today came down heavily on Punjab's Bhagwant Mann government, berating its "unconstitutional and anti-farmer policies" including the land pooling scheme and demanded it be withdrawn immediately.

During his campaign for the Ludhiana West Assembly bypoll, Chugh met farmer delegations, especially from 37 villages affected by the land pooling scheme. He was handed a detailed memorandum by the farmers, seeking urgent intervention and protection of their land rights.
Chugh claimed that over 24,000 acres of farmland across these 37 villages have been brought under thr controversial land pooling policy, which he alleged is a systematic attempt to push urbanisation at the cost of agriculture.
“Instead of giving direct compensation, the government is offering a fraction of the acquired land back to farmers, forcing them to depend on market forces and speculative buyers. This is nothing but a land-grab operation disguised as policy. It is unconstitutional and unjust to the farmers of Punjab,” Chugh said.
He further warned that more than 20 percent of urban land in Punjab already lies unsold due to poor planning and governance. “When previous urban expansion schemes have failed, what guarantees do small farmers—who make up over 80 percent of Punjab's landholders—have that they won’t be cheated again?” he asked.
