New land acquisition policy soon, says Gehlot

BJP MLA Devi Singh Bhati is on strike since May 24 demanding several measures in the interest of the farmers

PTI | May 26, 2011



Terming the hunger strike by BJP MLA Devi Singh Bhati for a new land acquisition policy as unwarranted, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot today said that a new policy is on anvil and will be introduced "soon".

"I announced in the state budget this year that a new land acquisition policy will be introduced in three months.

Work in this direction is almost complete so the moves like strike or protest are quite unnecessary," Gehot said here.

"MLA Devi Singh Bhati should keep patience also should call off his agitation so as to ensure law and order situation in the state," he said.

Gehlot said that the new policy will protect the interest of farmers.

Bhati is on strike in Bikaner since May 24 demanding several measures in the interest of the farmers including a state level land acquisition act.
