PTI | February 24, 2012



Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav has accused the Mayawati government of snatching away farmers' land for builders.

"The present BSP government in the state is involved in land-grabbing. It is snatching away farmers' lands for builders," Yadav alleged addressing an election rally at Kheragarh, about 25 km from here.

He promised that if his party came to power, farmers' interest would be addressed on priority and their loans of up to Rs 50,000 would be waived off.

He also attacked the Chief Minister for wasting public's money in building parks and statues across the state to eulogize herself instead of development.
