Gujarat
Parivartan Party ( GPP) general secretary Gordhan Zadaphia accused the Narendra
Modi-led Gujarat government of giving away 81,948 hectares of public land to 67
favourite industrial houses at throwaway prices in the last ten years, causing
a huge loss to the public exchequer.
Zadaphia
claimed to have got this information under the Right to Information (RTI) Act.
He said,
"The state government has given prime public land to favourite industries
at nominal rates of Rs1 to Rs 900 per square metre. The value of these pieces
of land are actually much greater. While the poor of the state don't have land
to build houses, the government has given away 81,948 hectares to a few
industrial houses. This clearly shows the intentions of the chief minister. He
has not even spared pastoral lands of the poor, which are their only sources of
income."
