Congress Slams Assam Govt for Ignoring Indigenous Land Rights

Congress leader Debabrata Saikia accused the Assam government of betraying its “jaati, maati, bheti” promise. He alleged land is being handed to corporates like Adani and Ambani, sidelining indigenous communities. Saikia criticized land banks, commercial use of tea garden land, and Mission Basundhara’s failure. He warned of rising land costs and a pro-industrialist land policy hurting locals.
