Private member bills to be tabled by Congress MLAs on these subjects
The Congress party would try to corner the Pushkar Singh Dhami government in the assembly by raising the issues of Land laws and the Uttarakhand Char Dham Devasthanam Management Board. The party is bringing two private member bills on these issues. Kedarnath MLA, Manoj Rawat would bring private member bill on Land laws while Dharchula MLA Harish Dhami would bring private bill on Devasthanam management board. These bills are expected to be tabled on Friday.
The leader of opposition (LoP) in Uttarakhand assembly Pritam Singh told media persons outside the Vidhan Sabha here on Monday that the bringing private member bill is the right of the MLAs. He said that the Congress party wants discussion on these issues as the people of the state want to know the standpoint of the BJP government on Land Laws and Devasthanam Management board.
The LoP said the BJP government first made amendments in Uttarakhand ( Uttar Pradesh) Zamindari Abolition and land management act and then following a public uproar, has set up a committee. He added that a similar thing occurred in the Char Dham Devasthanam management board where a committee has been appointed after protest by the Teerth Purohits. “The BJP government made Gairsain a commissionerate but went back on its decision. This government first takes a decision and then does a roll back,’’ he said.
