Congress party manifesto to be release today

The Congress, which has repeatedly attacked the BRS government’s Dharani land portal, is likely to bring in ‘Bhu Bharathi’, another portal, in its place if it wins the election. AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge, who will be in the city on Friday to release the party’s manifesto for the upcoming polls, is expected to give more clarity on how it would differ from Dharani and what it would do better to safeguard land rights.

Besides this, the manifesto is also expected to offer several sops to all



sections, sources said.

Since its introduction in October 2020, the Dharani portal has been a bone of contention for Opposition parties, who have now turned it into a poll plank, with both the BJP and Congress promising to scrap the portal if they win the elections.

The Opposition contends that the ruling party used the portal to grab farmland, besides grabbing assigned land parcels from SCs and STs, allotted by previous regimes.
