Punjab’s Land Pooling Policy | No Mann’s land

Punjab’s Land Pooling Policy | No Mann’s land

Published by Webster

It was mid-May, the time when the peak summer sun dries up all wellsprings of generosity. That’s when the Bhagwant Mann-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab launched Land Pooling Policy (LPP), 2025. It was a striking idea: bunching together 65,533 acres for industrial and residential projects. In retrospect, though, someone should have foreseen that, in a state where land is scarce and has much symbolic and material value, the move would generate enough heat to scald the government. The inevitable reversal took only a couple of months. Disclaimer: We do not own any of the content, ideas, images, or text presented here. All rights belong to their respective owners.

New national president | BJP goes head hunting

New national president | BJP goes head hunting

Published by Webster

Just when it seemed the BJP was finally getting set to elect a president, the needle moved backward again, with the imperative of finding a new vice-president for the country first. Never mind that it has been more than a year since current president Jagat Prakash Nadda’s term came to an end—this after an extension of a year and a half from the original retirement date of January 20, 2023. The vice-presidential election is due on September 9, followed perhaps by a cabinet reshuffle and, of course, the Bihar election.

Bihar | Chirag Paswan’s power play

Bihar | Chirag Paswan’s power play

Published by Webster

On July 26, Union minister Chirag Paswan was in Gaya to address a public gathering when he lashed out at the Nitish Kumar-led NDA regime in Bihar. “I am sorry I have to support this government,” he told the media when asked about the ambulance rape incident that had rocked the town—and made national headlines—two days earlier. “Murders, kidnappings, rape… yet the state machinery prostrates itself before criminals.” Though he refrained from naming the chief minister, there was no mistaking who his salvo was aimed at—the home department works under Nitish.
