The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, introduced in Lok Sabha last week, will be taken up once the less contentious Bills seeking to replace the Ordinances are passed, sources said. Meanwhile, government has pressed its ministers into service to convince allies and opposition parties-other than the Congress and the Left- to give up their opposition on the Land Acquisition Bill.
Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari met Shiv Sena Chief Udhav Thackeray on Friday to convince him about the need for passing the Land Bill and dispel apprehensions that the legislation is anti-farmer. Shiv Sena sources said Gadkari has been apprised of the points on which the party has differences with the Bill. "Shiv Sena MPs will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi either on Monday or Tuesday to give a memorandum on why the Land Bill in its present form should not be passed as it would harm the interest of the farmers and the small land holders," a Shiv Sena MP told ET.
Rajnath Singh is holding talks with farmers groups and bodies representing the interests of these sections including the Bhartiya Mazdoor Sangh and the Swadeshi Jagran Manch.
