"Two companies require 11,000 acres of agriculture land to set up their plants, and are using land brokers to purchase directly from the farmers for peanuts. We will not allow this to happen," CPI(M) Politburo member Brinda Karat said.
After addressing a rally in support of the protesting farmers against land acquisition at Sonahatu, Karat said at a news conference here that both the Central and state governments should firmly deal with 'land grabbers' as per the Chota Nagpur Tenancy (CNT) Act and protect the interest of Jharkhand as enshrined in the fifth Schedule of the Constitution.
