For the past several days, land mafia Anil Bagdana has been a topic of discussion. Now it has come to light that Anil has built a lavish farmhouse in Bagdana, Bhavnagar, allegedly for local so-called leaders and officials to enjoy themselves. This raises a serious question: with whose money was this luxurious farmhouse of Anil Jayanti Vedani (Bagdana), an uneducated member of the Mahakal Group known for land mafia activities in Surat, constructed?

This farmhouse, which has become a hub for leaders and officials, is said to have been built using money obtained by usurping farmers’ land and by blackmailing builders.

The government should investigate such illegal (benami/black) money of land mafias and use those funds for the development of the country. The government should also ensure that leaders and officials stop encouraging and supporting such mafias.
