Recognising caste
Allotting land to caste groups
With assembly elections in Rajasthan just about a year away , the Vasundhra Raje government has cleared the proposal to allot land to various castes and communities at concessional rates. These allotments were initially made by the Congress government in 2013 just ahead of the last assembly elections but were cancelled by the state government under Raje saying they were “misuse of public land“.
The Congress government had allotted 61 plots of land in various cities in the state for community purposes at just five 5% of the land cost. The BJP government, however, said it was yet to decide the rate at which the land will be re-allotted.
The current state cabinet's decision to take a Uturn on its earlier stand and give a green signal for caste-based land allotment has come close on the heels of giving nod to the luxury residential complex, Palacia, after cancelling it initially.
“The cabinet has decided to allot land to various castes and communities.We have been receiving demands from these sections for a long time,“ urban development and housing (UDH) minister Shrichand Kriplani said.
A senior UDF official said, of 61 allotments, most (35) will be made in Kota district. “We will provide land to various organisations at six locations in Jaipur,“ he said.

The fall in BJP’s vote share in the bypolls for one assembly and two Lok Sabha seats in Rajasthan, where it received a drubbing by Congress, ranged between 21% and 12%, signalling an uphill battle for CM Vasundhara Raje as the state heads for polls later this year.
The biggest fall in vote share was in the Alwar parliamentary constituency, where BJP’s vote share dropped from 61% in 2014 to 40%. In the Ajmer parliamentary seat, BJP’s vote share dropped from 56% to 44%. In the Mandalgarh assembly seat, BJP’s vote share nosedived from 52% in 2013 to 32% now.
Anger among Meos on account of Pehlu Khan’s lynching by alleged cow vigilantes was one of the factors for Congress’s surge in vote share in Alwar.
