Chhattisgarh Minister's Wife Faces Land Allotment Controversy in Raipur Development Scheme
Chhattisgarh Minister Kedar Kashyap's wife, Shanti Kashyap, director of Radhika Palace Private Limited, is involved in a land controversy over a town development scheme in Raipur. Congress alleges the company received a prime commercial plot valued over ₹20 crore in exchange for lower-value land, while the Raipur Development Authority and BJP deny favoritism, citing adherence to rules. The dispute also includes questions about the land category recorded as 'General' despite the minister's tribal status. Kashyap has not commented on the matter.
