RANCHI: Hitting back at Congress over its charge that the government was helping corporates with land bill, BJP chief Amit Shah on Saturday said it cannot mislead people as they know who took away farmers' land and benefited business houses by giving away spectrum and coal mines in the past.

Without taking any names, he said the party had no right to level such allegations when "the son-in-law of its family had taken away thousands of hectares of land belonging to farmers", a veiled reference to the issue of land deals of Robert Vadra, son-in-law of Congress chief Sonia Gandhi.

"Not a inch of land will go to the corporates" to give any undue benefit, Shah told a meeting of BJP activists here.

The BJP chief assured the party workers that the Modi government would not do anything that would make them "bow their heads", instead they will be able to walk with their head held high.

Asserting that the Modi government would see to it that development reached the last person, he said the Land Acquisition Bill would help farmers prosper, open doors for employment, bring electricity and irrigation facilities to their land and increase farm produce.

Describing the opposition as "direction-less", Shah said that the Congress' attempt to "misguide" the people on land bill issue would fail.

"They (Congress) got only 44 seats (in the general elections), finished fourth in the state assembly election and scored zero in the Delhi assembly elections," he said.

He sought to know from the Congress how much money it had deposited in the treasury through mines and spectrum allotment.

Shah said the Narendra Modi-led BJP government brought money from the corporate sector through auctioning only 20 of the 220 coal mines and deposited Rs two lakh crore in the coffers.

The people know who has helped corporates, he said. Shah said that the auction money would put the states like Jharkhand on the path of development.
