Land Acquisition Bill: BJP on Tuesday refuted the charge that the Land Acquisition Bill brought by the Narendra Modi government was “anti-farmer” and claimed that “long-term interests” of the agriculturists had been kept in mind while preparing the draft.“Opposition parties like Congress, Trinamool, Samajwadi Party and BSP have been carrying out a relentless campaign to create an impression that the ordinance is anti-farmer. We want to make it clear that contrary to their claims, the provisions in the ordinance will provide huge long-term benefits to the farmers of the country,” BJP national secretary Siddharth Nath Singh told reporters.But BJP’s ally Shiv Sena has skipped a meeting of lawmakers from the ruling coalition called to discuss strategy in the face of a united opposition determined to block the government’s move to push a controversial land bill through Parliament.
