Empowered committee in every district on illegal land grabbing leading to demographic change
“The BJP Government shall constitute an empowered committee in every district to investigate and resolve in mission mode, issues relating to illegal land grabbing leading to demographic changes in the state.”
The verdict
Sankalp 1; p. 52 adds a special commission on the same issue. The government ran verification drives (2022, 2024), and the 2025 land law amendment barring non-residents from buying farmland in 11 districts was justified partly on demographic grounds. No source confirmed district committees or the commission. Not rated.
Rule applied: In progress: deadline not reached; rating is provisional and not counted in the final score
