The Uttarakhand Congress has demanded that the State government should annul all the changes in the Uttarakhand (Uttar Pradesh) Zamindari Abolition and Land Reforms Act made by the Trivendra Singh Rawat government on December 6, 2018. The chief spokeswoman of the State Congress, Garima Dasauni said that the chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has said that the provision which allows purchase of land up to 250 square meters by outsiders is applicable on only one member of a family. She said that all the measures announced by the CM will only be eyewash till the contentious amendments made in the land laws are cancelled. Dasauni added that the CM should give a gift of a land law which is more stringent than Himachal Pradesh. She said that HP has a good land bank because it became alert on preserving its land and enacted a strict law. Dasauni said that Uttarakhand on the other hand is being looted by land mafia.
She said that the claim made by the State government on decrease in unemployment rate is far from the reality. Dasauni said that it appears that the advisors of the chief minister are not providing him with the exact information about the works done by the earlier governments in the field of unemployment.
She claimed that 80 per cent of the appointments in the government sector in the State after the creation of the State were done during the tenure of Congress governments.
Dasauni averred that in the private sector Congress government was instrumental in setting up SIIDCUL and PTCUL which are giving employment to lakhs of youngsters.
