It is learnt that some senior leaders in Delhi tipped Gandhi about the rumors being spread by opposition leaders about various government schemes. One such policy being dubbed in negative light by the opposition is National Land Reforms Policy. The opposition has allegedly used this policy to propagate misconception among Vidarbha farmers that those from western part of the region would eventually lose their excess land in the aftermath of this policy, which is not the real thing.
A senior Congress leader in Nagpur on condition of anonymity informed that Gandhi intended to clear air over the rumor being spread regarding this ambitious Congress policy. “Actually this is the only purpose of his Vidarbha tour”, he added.
