Rajasthan BJP Promises Early Disturbed Area Law Enforcement
The Bharatiya Janata Party released a plan for local elections in Rajasthan.
It promised to enforce a new property law early in selected cities.
The law would apply to places called “disturbed areas.”
It is meant to help stop property owners from being pressured into selling cheaply.
It would also protect some tenants from being evicted.
Rajasthan’s Assembly passed the law in March, but the Governor has not approved it yet.
The party also promised homes, new sewer lines, gas connections, and jobs.
These promises would be carried out over the next five years if implemented.
The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party promised early enforcement of Rajasthan’s Disturbed Area Law in selected cities.
Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma announced the pledge while releasing the party’s civic poll manifesto on Wednesday.
The state Assembly passed the legislation in March, but it has not yet received the Governor’s assent.
The law aims to protect property owners from distressed sales and tenants from eviction in communally sensitive areas.
Other promises include 100,000 urban homes, replacement of 3,000 kilometres of sewer lines, seven lakh PNG connections, and four lakh jobs.
