"Let either the farmers be 25% stakeholders in the industries coming up at the proposed land or let the entire 464 acres of land remain as agriculture land only", the minister said.
Interacting with mediapersons in Panchkula, he asserted that he had high regard for the chief minister but the farmers` cause was his priority. "The CM is head of our team but I wish he would redesign or amend the policy after taking into consideration the suggestions given by us,“ Ajay added.
He was the first to `revolt` against land acquisition in Rewari, but denied that there was any bickering within the party on the issue. Referring to Haryana`s budget, he praised the CM`s assertion that it is going to be an " aam-adami friendly budget."
Ajay Singh and the CM have been at loggerheads on the issue of acquisition of 496 acres of land in Rewari district for an industrial estate. Ajay had recently praised UP CM Mayawati for land acquisition policy and Gujarat chief minister Narender Modi for the agriculture policy in their respective states.
