Land Acquisition
Now, owners can quote price
Chandigarh, July 9
In a significant move, the Punjab Government has introduced a land purchase policy that allows the state to buy land for various projects from owners through a process of tender-based bidding. The policy, a first of its kind in India, is called the Punjab Land Purchase Policy. To begin with, it is being implemented for setting up of an urban estate in Ludhiana.

Gadkari ruffles Cong with Afzal remark
New Delhi, July 9
BJP president Nitin Gadkari again ruffled quite a few feathers, this time in the Congress by using foul language against its leaders. The Congress in turn has asked for an apology from the BJP and sought a social boycott of Gadkari. Addressing a rally in Dehradun last night, Gadkari raked up again his party’s pet subject — the delay in the execution of Parliament attack accused Afzal Guru.

NCP’s fresh salvo: Alliance sans Cong 
New Delhi, July 9
In an apparent bid to give pinpricks to major ally Congress, the NCP today announced that it would form a secular democratic front in poll-bound states like Kerala and Assam. But the NCP tied itself up in knots when it said it would protest against the Union Government of which its leader Sharad Pawar is a part.

Kadapa MP Jaganmohan Reddy seems to be bracing up to break away from the Congress and float a political outfit in the name of his late father and former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy.

First violators of RTE Act: Govt’s own Navodayas
New Delhi, July 9
In a major embarrassment to the government, its own Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs) today emerged as the first violators of the HRD Ministry’s Right to Education Act (RTE) in the maiden year of its implementation. The schools — fully funded by the government — went ahead and conducted admissions for the current academic session on the basis of an all-India entrance test despite clear provisions in the RTE Act prohibiting screening of students at the time of admission. The RTE provides for random admissions only and explicitly bars entrance tests for students from classes I to VIII and aged 6 to 14 years.
