Rahul tries to reach out to middle class on Real Estate Bill issue

New Delhi, May 2 (IBNS) After wooing farmers, Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Saturday tried reach out to the middle-class as he met home buyers to take up the issue of New Real Estate Bill and called it anti-consumers.

Rahul met the organisations representing home-buyers at the Congress headquarters and assured them of his support against the Bill, which has allegedly diluted  penalties for late delivery of homes and does not have safeguards against money being diverted from one project to another.

" The government is working against tribals, farmers and also the middle class. NDA's Real Estate Bill is pro-builder and has diluted safeguards for buyers brought by UPA government," he said.

The Real Estate (Development and Regulation) Bill will be introduced by the BJP-led NDA government in Rajya Sabha on wednesday. The law was proposed during the UPA rule to regulate real estate sector following widespread complaints from consumers. However, the NDA government made changes to the Bill inviting resistance from the opposition.
