Sonia Gandhi writes letter to Nitin Gadkari over land acquisition bill
New Delhi, March 27 (ANI): Congress President Sonia Gandhi has written a letter to Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari on the land bill and urged the Modi government to bring back the 2013 law in totality. In her letter, Sonia Gandhi has slammed the land bill as an “unabashed display of half-truths”. Gandhi said in her letter, “Your government is blatantly anti-farmer and anti-poor, compromising rights of the weaker sections of society to benefit a handful of private parties. “Your proposed legislation makes a mockery of your claim that you stand for interest of farmers. Your government’s position on defense, irrigation& electrification issues is a blatant attempt to divert attention, cannot be at the cost of pushing farmers into a pitiable condition or destroying their livelihoods,” the letter further stated.
