Oppn criticises Minister Boseraju for alleged forest land encroachment

Hubli
Minister Boseraju has been accused of attempting to acquire forest land, following similar allegations against other cabinet ministers. The Deputy Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Assembly criticised Boseraju, suggesting that the act may have been influenced by the Chief Minister.
The statement questioned when the Congress government, accused of oppressing poor farmers, would seek the resignation of the minister involved in the alleged land grabbing. It was mentioned that forest farmers have encroached on land for their livelihood, but the government is being criticised for not protecting the country’s forest wealth.
The opposition’s comments highlighted concerns that the government, which is responsible for protecting natural resources, is instead enabling the destruction of forest areas. The criticism reflected broader concerns about how forest lands are being handled by members of the current government. Calls for action were made against the ministers involved in these allegations.
