April 28, 2014 20:13
BJP leader Meenakshi Lekhi today asked Congress to come clean on its "son-in-law model" of development first and defended Narendra Modi saying land was sold not to one, but to a couple of other business houses to set up an SEZ.
"Time and again, Congress leaders rake up the issue of land allocation to a business house and call it 'toffee model'. I am here to clarify that SEZ policy was implemented by the Centre and not the state," Lekhi while addressing a press conference said here.
She claimed that the land, which was not suitable for farming due to high salinity, was sold to not one, but to a couple of other business houses to set up an SEZ, while referring to land given to the Adanis and others near Mundra in Kutch.
