BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh, along with Punjab BJP President Sunil Jakhar, met the Hon’ble Governor of Punjab Gulab Chand Kataria today on the issue of the unconstitutional Land Pooling Policy introduced by the AAP-led Bhagwant Mann government. Sunil Jakhar said that the Punjab Government has not even framed any rules or regulations under the Land Pooling Policy 2025.
This raises grave concerns about how far this loot could go in its next phase. He added that BJP will take this unconstitutional loot to the courts as well. Jakhar pointed out that while the land under notification is still officially recorded in the farmers’ names, in reality, the farmers cannot sell it, nor can they mortgage it for loans in times of need.
Addressing the media Chugh said that Kejriwal has hijacked Punjab’s democratically elected government and is using the Mann administration as a puppet to benefit land mafias and close aides. He said the Land Pooling Bill is not only unconstitutional but also completely lacks any transparent roadmap, clearly pointing to a pre-planned design to benefit land mafias and Kejriwal’s close coterie at the cost of Punjab’s farmers.
“This is tyranny. BJP will fight this battle legally, politically and on ground. We will challenge this bill in court and take our fight to every village of Punjab. If protests fail, we are ready to go on fast unto death. But we will not allow even an inch of land to be taken from Punjab’s farmers,” Chugh and Jakhar asserted.
He slammed the AAP government’s false promise of 400 years of planning, saying, “They couldn’t manage Punjab for 4 years and now they speak of 400. Their misgovernance has pushed Punjab to the bottom of financial rankings and now they want to hand over land to mafias. This is arrogance and betrayal.”
Chugh further exposed the tacit support of Congress, saying their silence on this issue proves their secret alliance with AAP. He thanked the Governor for assuring that no undemocratic or unjust step will be allowed in Punjab and warned AAP that its countdown in Punjab has begun.
They were accompanied by Dr Subhash Sharma , State Vice president, Surjit Jyani , former minister , Advocate Bikram Singh Sidhu (BJP State Executive Member), Gurdev Sharma Debi (Treasurer, BJP Punjab), Rajnish Dhiman , Harish Tondon , Gurinder Sandhu and Vineet Joshi (State Media Head, BJP Punjab) along with farmers from Ludhiana district affected by this arbitrary land pooling initiative.
