Land Acquisition Bill passed on to ‘group of ministers’ court

29 Aug 2012 Evaluate

Sensing growing split within Cabinet over the contentious Land Acquisition and Rehabilitation and Resettlement (LARR) Bill, 2011, Prime Minister (PM) Manmohan Singh referred the same to a group of ministers (GoM), after its provisions were hailed as 'flawed' and clauses relating to compensation were criticized for being anti-growth.

The very political bill was floated after the government decided to amend the provisions of Land Acquisition bill of 1894 when strong protest against land acquisition, especially in tribal areas, rocked states in 2007. The idea was to abate the absolute powers of state governments to acquire land by specifying in the bill the purpose for which it could be done.

Ironically, despite being endorsed as United Progressive Alliance’s gift to the aam admi, the bill was met with fierce flak by the party’s own ministers during Tuesday’s cabinet meeting. With no price for guessing, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) was also vocal in its opposition to the Bill. However, even vehement argument was put from urban development minister Kamal Nath who condemned that the bill would stall all activity, from metro rail to urbanization and industrialization.

However, Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh, who has been keen on pushing the Bill, is optimistic  that there would not be much of trouble to clear the bill, as 25 out of the 28 recommendations of the standing committee, were accepted.
