Hi Guys,
According to Finance Minister, it is not a setback. It is set forward. Rather than involve ourselves in political deadlock and remain parked in a traffic jam situation, we should take the possible route, which has lesser political cost, provide greater freedom to the states... and states who want to get benefit out of it, get the benefit out of it.

Last week, the government had favoured an order to involve 13 central acts like national highway and railways acts to expand benefits to those whose plot is acquired under the land law. Replying to queries on GST bill, which is held up in Rajya Sabha, the minister told that he was in touch with the Congress party.

Hi Guys,
As per the latest news, the constitution amendment bill to roll out GST, a new indirect tax control, has been passed by Lok Sabha, but is hold in the Upper House where the government does not have majority. One way or another, this bill will help both builders & buyers. People should know clearly about this bill.

Hi,
I heard from news that, Land Acquisition Bill that deals with the developers who have termed the center's move to let the land acquisition bill fall through as "disastrous". According to them the decision will affect infrastructure projects such as the coastal road, the nuclear power project at Jaitapur and other industrial projects across the state. Even national projects such as the industrial corridor will face difficulties. Land acquisition for railways, airports and power plants will be difficult.

The Builders are more worried than the common man. Why are they so concerned with this bill? They have to build only on what they can, that is their concern. If they do their work sincerely and honestly, how does the bill affect them.

Guys,
Yesterday, Finance Minister replied back to the developers saying, let the land acquisition ordinance to lapse is not a problem for the government and the different route assumed by the Centre will provide greater flexibility to the states to deal with the issue.

Look Khushi,
Farmers are innocent and politicians are changing their mind. You have seen that lot's of politician became active after the issue of Land Acquisition Bill.

Despite the fact that it's very clear that the overall land acquisition under selected projects will not impact more than 0.5% of the cultivable land in India, the activists say that the person who looses the land should get compensation, no matter how much minor they are.

Very True Pradyuman,
Every parties are playing their own game to attract the attention of the farmers but the realty is they are preparing for the next election.

Now, the farmer has made their voice more stronger towards the Govt. A farmer leader has told that government can bring in bunch of corporate companies through this bill, but if that is being bought at the cost of all those farmers who may loose their cultivable land, then they are not supporting this bill.

Good morning everyone,
As per the latest news, all the Ambedkarites in Nagpur City too have joined hands to fight with BJP government driven Land Acquisition Amendment Bill which was recently proposed in Lok Sabha. As per the Ambedkarites, the proposed amendments is for the anti-farmer and anti-poor.

@Vasanth,
A farmer told that the Land Acquisition Bill undemocratic. After becoming PM, Narendra Modi has been promoting his Make in India vision very well. But his current action while amending the bill, which mainly aims at promoting foreign companies.

Hi Rubiya,
I recently heard from news that, government on Monday sought to allay apprehensions on the Land Acquisition ordinance saying even farmers whose land was acquired for critical projects like atomic energy, petroleum and highways will also get compensation. By bringing this ordinance, we have done something which would benefit all the farmers.

Yes Mr Rajesh, i too heard about this news. Yes this is a great news indeed. But i heard opposition party is not supporting this new strong initiative. Congress has decided to oppose the land ordinance saying interests of farmers and livelihood losers would be "completely eliminated" if it becomes law as it reopens the route for forcible acquisition. Accusing the Modi government of antipathy towards farmers, social activist Anna Hazare today launched a two-day agitation against the controversial land acquisition ordinance here, coinciding with the commencement of the Budget session of Parliament.

@ Rubiya,
Observing that more than half of the farmers were not to get benefit in the earlier Land Acquisition Act, he said the Government included those 13 legislations introduced by former Minister Jairam Ramesh which were not under the purview of the previous law, to ensure that compensation is paid for the land acquired for projects under these laws.

@ Rubiya,
According to me, the changes, rehabilitation and resettlement and compensation provisions of the Act will be applicable to laws including Electricity Act, Resettlement of Displaced Persons Act, National Highways Act, Metro Rail Act, the Atomic Energy Act, the Indian Tramways Act, the Railways Act, the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, the Petroleum and Minerals Pipelines (Acquisition of Right of User in Land) Act and the Damodar Valley Corporation Act.

As the Land Acquisition bill is waiting for the finalisation, surprisingly there has been a sudden rise in the number of land deals in many places in Maharashtra, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.
