Shivtare accuses Congress, NCP of land brokering

Purandar MLA Vijay Shivtare has accused local Congress and NCP leaders of acting as land brokers. He demands that land acquisition for the Purandar Airport project be done through direct payments to ensure fair compensation for farmers. Shivtare stated that using a voluntary purchase method would expedite the stalled airport project, which has faced delays for five years. He emphasized that this approach would prevent farmers from suffering losses. With the BJP-led government now in power, Shivtare expressed renewed hope for the project. He noted that previous attempts to change the airport's location were rejected by aviation authorities.
