India Against Corruption activist turned politician Arvind Kejriwal alleged that the BJP president Nitin Gadkari took undue favours from the Maharashtra government in allotment of land acquired from Vidarbha farmers for a public purpose. For their generations old land the farmers were compensated with a paltry sum of Rs. 5,000 per acre in 1981-82. The BJP has denied the charge saying the land was given by the Maharashtra government which could have refused to make the allotment.Kejriwal asked whether the BJP was an Opposition party or was it colluding with the Congress at the Centre and in the States. He alleged that Gadkari had expressed his inability to RTI activist Anjali Damania in raising the issue of irrigation scam in Maharashtra as, he said, the ruling party and the opposition do favours to one another. The activist, who had raised the issue of alleged nexus among DLF, Robert Vadra and the Haryana government, said such was the camaraderie that politicians like NDA convener Sharad Yadav and NCP chief Sharad Pawar came to Mr. Vadra’s defence. Mr. Kejriwal asked why the BJP was silent on the charges against Law Minister Salman Khurshid’s Trust.
