Pune Land Deal Sparks Probe, Ajit Pawar Meets CM Amid Row
A politician named Rahul Gandhi is accusing the government of selling land that was supposed to be for a special group of people.
He says the land was worth a lot of money, but it was sold for much less to a company that a government minister's son is part of.
This has caused a big argument.
The minister met with the chief minister to talk about it.
The government has started an investigation to check if anything was wrong with the sale.
Allegations surface that government land worth ₹1,800 crore, meant for Dalits in Pune, was sold for ₹300 crore to a company linked to Deputy CM Ajit Pawar's son, Parth Pawar.
The land deal has triggered a political row, with the opposition labeling it 'land theft'.
The Maharashtra government has ordered a high-level probe into the controversial ₹300 crore Pune land deal.
Deputy CM Ajit Pawar met with CM Devendra Fadnavis amid the allegations.
The probe aims to investigate potential irregularities and the sale of land reserved for Dalits.
