BJP-Congress Face-Off Over Karnataka Land Dispute

The BJP and Congress are clashing over a land claim by the Karnataka State Board of Waqfs in Vijayapura district. The controversy began with a letter sent to Honwada farmers, indicating that 1,500 acres had been reassigned to the Waqf Board. Minister MB Patil clarified that this was a Gazette error, asserting that only 11 acres are Waqf property, while the BJP accused Congress of negligence.
