Four Lane affected to not support  BJP in election

Four lane joint action committee and Land Acquisition Prabhit Manch given the call to oppose and not support  BJP candidate in November 12 Assembly Election. President of four Lane joint action committee and land acquisition affected front  convenor B R Kaundal and  secretary Joginder Walia said in a press statement that  BJP in 2017 had promised  four times compensation to Fourlane affected farmers in the state. Giving a call to Farmers he said that time have come to teach a lesson to Jai Ram government by  voting against ruling party candidate. Joginder Walia said that for the last 5 years, Himachal Government has not implemented the Land Acquisition Act, 2013  and Fourfold Compensation was not provided to number of Farmers in the state.  They have been raising the demand but  pending demands of the farmers was resolved by the Jairam government. He said that contrary to Election manifesto  this issue, deferred its promise to take an appropriate decision, whereas Union Minister for Surface and Transport Nitin Gadkari was ready  to give 4 times the compensation, as  t central government has ready given 4 times the compensation in other states.  Now again in his manifesto of 2022, BJP is stating to provide  four times compensation. He said that BJP is misleading People and affected farmers are called upon to give a lesson to this government by voting against ruling Candidates. Himachal Pradesh mainly includes roads like Parwanoo-Shimla, Kiratpur-Manali, Mator-Shimla, Pathankot-Mandi, Pinjore-Nalagarh, Hamirpur-Kotli-Mandi etc. Apart from these four lanes, drafts of projects are ready for making about 68 new national highways.  Land is also being acquired for Bhanupally to Bilaspur-Leh and Chandigarh-Baddi rail line for laying railway line and it is also proposed to acquire land for airport construction and expansion.  Earlier, land is also being acquired by the previous governments for laying dam/tower lines for power generation, but the government is not yet implementing the Land Acquisition Act 2013 nor does it want to give proper compensation to the farmers despite the amount is ready to be shared by the central government.

 BR Kaundal, President, Land Acquisition Affected Forum (HP) said that 1 lakh affected families, including farmers, shopkeepers and other citizens, are also  affected by land acquisition in the 38 Vidhan Sabha due to land acquisition in the entire state.  Nothing has been talked about in its new manifesto.  Although a sub-committee was constituted at the ministerial level in 2018, it decided to implement Factor-2 (four times compensation), but even after a lapse of 5 years,  government has not yet taken any decision on this. On the contrary, instead of giving proper compensation, the Jairam government has reduced the circle rate of the land manifold.
