Modi government played truant with Land Act: Chandy
Palakkad (Kerala), April 14
Kerala Chief
Minister Oommen Chandy on Tuesday said the NDA government, led by
Narendra Modi, has played truant with the Land Act floated by the
previous UPA government to help farmers.
"The UPA government, in
order to help the farmer, floated the Land Act, but the Modi government
has played truant with it. Governance should benefit all and not just
one section of the society," said Chandy adding that his government's
policy has been both development and care.
"The much
talked-about 'arrival' of Narendra Modi, who will be the saviour of the
poor and down-trodden, has fallen flat," said Chandy.
"Modi, for
some reason, has completely forgotten the weakest of the weak sections
of the society who needs the best of attention. The general talk when he
took over was that he would turn out to be the saviour for the poor and
down-trodden, but it has not happened," said Chandy.
He also said that in the name of development, the biggest beneficiaries have been the rich.
