Land Bill of NDA Government at the Centre.


One of the best attempts made by Modi's Government at the centre namely 'land bill' through ordinance route thrice has ended without any fruitful result. Unfortunate.

Absolute majority in Lok Sabha was not sufficient to rush through the major legislation on land acquisition matters, as a part of 'Team India's efforts to implement 'Make In India' dream. A little more serious homework from PMO could have handled this issue more successfully without losing face. I am sure the GOI would try to achieve its objective in the coming winter session of Parliament after seeing the report of Parliamentary committee on this subject and getting the support in a joint session (sitting) of both the Houses of Parliament. 

What is needed is a bold and open debate in public forums and the media on the importance of the bill with practical solutions to the interests of farmers of this country. On the other hand it is better to leave this issue permanently to be handled by the states as it has resulted right now.
