Apply land-acquisition law to rural roads, paying owners four times the value instead of gift deeds
“कांग्रेस की सरकार ग्रामीण सड़कों के लिए भू-अधिग्रहण कानून लागू कर भू-स्वामियों को चार गुना मुआवज़ा देने का प्रावधान करेगी।”English: “The Congress government will apply the land acquisition law for rural roads and provide four times compensation to landowners.”
The verdict
In November 2025 the PWD Minister was still asking people to give voluntary gift deeds for road alignments, which suggests the gift-deed system continues. No policy paying four-fold compensation for rural roads was found.
