While protest rallies were being held by the Congress in all the circles, the Shiromani Akali Dal also held protest rallies across Punjab. Now there was a preparation to set up a pucca front in Mohali from 1 September. During this time, there was a plan to surround the Aam Aadmi Party’s residence in Vikas Bhawan in Mohali, while the BJP had announced to take out the land, Kisan Bachao Yatra from August 17.

What was the land pooling policy of the government The Land Pooling Policy in Punjab was first implemented in the tenure of the Akali government in 2011. After this, Captain Amarinder Singh’s government and then the current Maan Sarkar made a change in it and took it forward. In June 2025, the Punjab Cabinet approved the new version of this policy. Under this policy, industrial, commercial and residential sectors were to be developed by acquiring land in different areas of the state. Instead of compensation amount to the landowners, commercial and residential plots were to be given in the same area in proportion to their land.
Now read which leader said what …
- Wading said- Punjab will not bow before the anti-people policies of AAP: Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh Raja Wading said that when governments forget people, people remind them where the real power is. This is the victory of Punjab and Punjabis. There is a victory of people’s fight against the land pooling scam. Punjab will never bow to the anti -people policies of AAP. Just as the Akali Dal supported three black laws despite the opposition of the people, similarly you did in land pooling and finally had to retreat. The Punjabis had neither waived the Akalis nor will do the AAP. The Congress has stood with farmers and people from the beginning and will always stand for the entitlements. We have defeated the Anti Punjab team together.
- Sukhbir Badal said- This was the land grab scheme, Shiromani Akali Dal head Sukhbir Badal said that I salute the brave Akali workers, farmers, laborers and shopkeepers who stood up unitedly and forced Arvind Kejriwal to withdraw the land pooling scheme. This was actually a land grab scheme, through which the Aam Aadmi Party tried to expand the party across the country by taking Rs 30,000 crore from the builders of Delhi. I want to assure the Punjabis that the way we have forced the Aam Aadmi Party to withdraw the land pooling scheme by running the ground movement, in the same way we will blame the Punjab government immersed in corruption and scams to insolven Punjab government, give jobs to outsiders, destroy law and order and promote gangsters.
- Pargat Singh said- There is a victory of farmers and public: Senior leader of Punjab Congress Pargat Singh posted a post on his social media account X and wrote- The Anti Farmer Land Pooling Policy has been officially canceled. This is the victory of the farmers and people of Punjab on the conspiracy to grab the land of the Aam Aadmi Party. From the very first day, we stood shoulder to shoulder with the farmers against this deception. Today his solidarity forced the government to bow down.
- Punjab BJP head said- The government wanted to rob the land of farmers: Punjab BJP chief Ashwani Sharma said that this decision has been taken due to pressure from farmers and Punjabis. This can be called the victory of farmers and Punjab. He said that this government wanted to rob the land of farmers. This gang from Delhi was trying to rob the farmers of Punjab, but could not succeed due to pressure on various levels. The Bharatiya Janata Party fought at the tehsil and district level and was also preparing for further travel. This is a decision taken for fear of the government, on which the party will keep a sharp eye. Even further, BJP will stand with farmers.
