Hyderabad, March 1 (IANS) Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu Sunday appealed to all political parties to help pass amendment to Land Acquisition Act 2013 in the larger national interest.
He told reporters that the government was ready to consider and discuss any meaningful and constructive suggestions and if necessary, incorporate them.
He said he held talks with leaders of various parties to seek their suggestions. "I hope that all political parties will think in the interest of the country, development and welfare of farmers," he said.
A bill to replace the ordinance related to amending the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 had already been introduced in Lok Sabha.
The land ordinance is one of the six to come up for discussion this week to convert them into legislations.
Naidu, who also holds the urban development portfolio, dismissed criticism by the opposition that the amendment was unilateral or anti-farmer and pointed out that it was drafted keeping in view the views expressed by the states. He said the states sought amendment to overcome the hurdles they are facing in acquiring land for development projects.
The minister claimed that the amendment is one of the measures being taken by the NDA government to boost the economic growth.
