Uproar Over BJP vs BJP Duel in Land Scam Case
The New Indian Express Shivamogga
|September 03, 2025
Bone of Contention
A political storm has erupted in Gujarat after BJP MLA and former cabinet minister Raman Vora was accused of posing as a bogus farmer to purchase agricultural land. The controversy has escalated with former BJP MLA Poonam Makwana and other complainants demanding criminal action, income tax scrutiny, and cancellation of land deals allegedly involving Vora's family.
The case, which spans Gandhinagar and Idar, has triggered multiple investigations, including notices from Mamlatdars, and charges of political pressure to suppress evidence. There are also accusations that Vora falsely posed as a farmer to acquire agricultural land in Gandhinagar's Palaj and Idar's Dawad villages.
