Congress Condemns Bihar Land Lease for Adani Power Project
The Congress party is upset about the Bihar government giving land to Adani Power for a power plant.
They say it's unfair because the rent is very low, only one rupee per year.
Congress claims that the land was taken from farmers.
Also, they think the cost of electricity from this plant will be too high, much more expensive than other places.
They are also suggesting the government favors Adani before elections, and the local people won't be happy.
Congress criticized the Bihar government's land lease to Adani.
The lease involves 1,050 acres of land.
The annual rent for the land is Re 1 for 33 years.
Congress alleged favoritism towards Adani by the BJP-led government.
Congress questioned the power tariff and land acquisition practices.
