<h1>Opposition accuses state government of outsourcing power to national leaders, treating state like an ATM, forcing policy U-turn</h1> State opposition leaders accused the incumbent state government of ceding control to Delhi-based party leaders who, they claim, are treating the state and its resources 'like an ATM' to raise funds and direct policy, pointing to the recent withdrawal of a controversial land pooling policy after protests. Opposition speakers alleged outsourcing of administration to external leaders, links between the policy and land developers, failures on promised welfare payouts and deteriorating law and order. The opposition held a statewide rally campaign and reported defections into its ranks, while praising the prime minister's stance on protecting farmers in trade talks and condemning rival national parties for double standards over agricultural reforms.
