Congress urges action against BJP's alleged land scam

The Congress party is calling for action following a Bombay High Court ruling against a provision in Goa's Town and Country Planning Act. They claim this ruling shows the BJP government has facilitated illegal land grabs, harming the environment. Congress state president Amit Patkar urged the government to restore all lands converted under the now-invalidated provision. He also called for the cancellation of illegal approvals and the creation of a transparent regional plan to protect Goa's land and heritage. MP Viriato Fernandes criticized builders from other states for influencing local land laws. Patkar stated that the ruling highlights the BJP's governance issues and vowed to hold them accountable in upcoming elections.
