Rahul Gandhi likely to protest against Real Estate Bill at Jantar Mantar today

Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi is likely to protest against the new Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Bill proposed by BJP-led NDA government on Monday.

Gandhi is likely to protest with home buyers at Jantar Mantar in the national capital. 

Earlier, Rahul Gandhi attacked Modi government and claimed it had diluted provisions of Real Estate Regulatory Authority Bill making the legislation pro-builders from being pro-buyers.

After meeting several NCR flat buyers on Saturday, Rahul Gandhi, who has been attacking the Centre over land bill issue and the plight of farmers, hadsaid that he had learnt that it is not just farmers and tribals but also the middle class people that are "suppressed" on matters related to land.

He had also said the NDA government was trying to destroy the Bill brought by the Congress-led UPA government to regulate the real estate sector. The intention of the UPA's Bill was to protect and support the buyers but the government had entirely overturned it through the amendments.

Meanwhile, Union Law and Justice Minister D V Sadananda Gowda lambasted Rahul Gandhi for criticising PM Narendra Modi over the Real Estate Regulatory Authority Bill.

Talking to reporters in Delhi Gowda said instead of criticising Modi, Gandhi should first know his position in his own party and also try to understand the contents of the bill.
