Gandhinagar: Congress leaders have charged the BJP government with favouring industrialists in sale of land. Leader of Opposition in Assembly Shaktisinh Gohil said that according to the Central government rules, a developer cannot sell land allocated to him for Special Economic Zones (SEZ). This rule was formed in 2005, but Gujarat government did not make the required amendments only because it wanted to favour industrialists. At Mundra, Gohil said, SEZ developers who got the land free sold it off at exorbitant rates. He said that 3,15,49,000 square metre of land around Shekhadia village of Mundra taluka was sold at the rate of Rs 8 per sq metre to the Adanis. This land was later sold by the same industrialist at several hundred rupees per sq metre. He further alleged that GIDC was given five lakh sq m land which was then taken back and handed over to Adani. Gohil said that the revenue department deprived the poor, Dalits, tribals and agricultural labourers their due land and instead gave that to industrialists. In Bhavnagar, he alleged, 1,031 hectares of land was given to Tata for an IT park at a very low price.
