Congress Party is doing dirty politics on Land Acquisition Bill presented by BJP in Rajya Sabha. In the same way other Non-BJP parties are also opposing the bill merely to defeat political agenda of BJP and puncture growth oriented projects of BJP led government . These parties are indulged in dirty and anti national politics in the name of farmers. The are opposing the bill for the sake of opposition. They do not have any valid logic nor any valid suggestion to make the bill more active, effective and judicious.
Congress Party knew very well when they were in the last leg of UPA rule that they are going to be defeated in forthcoming election. They framed such a bill which was totally anti-development and totally impracticable. Similarly they passed Food Security Bill when they were left with only a few days of rule . Congress Party did nothing for welfare of common men and for farmers for six decades of their rule but tried its best to win the last election by playing with sentiments of common men and farmers. Similarly parties like RJD, SP, BSP, JDU DMK etc which are fighting their last fight for survival are blindly polarising and joining hands with corrupt Congress Party to malign BJP led government at centre and to stop Mr. MODI in performing well for common men.
Congress Party ruled this country by making promises and promises only which were never fulfilled even during six decade long congress party rule.They talked of poverty alleviation but failed to reduce poverty of any common men . They talked of quota but did not generate any job opportunities and hence all talks of quota proved futile.
I however suggest BJP government to pass the bill after some practicable modification suggested by opponents. BJP should however not remove those provisions which may prove impediments in acquisition of land for development of rail projects, defence projects or affordable house for common men projects and other projects which are directed for welfare of common men..
Willingly or unwillingly ,Government will have to provide land , coal and other important minerals to industrialists at minimum prices so that products manufactured by them are made available in the market at affordable price. And to stop misuse of these scarce resources by corporate for earning extraordinary higher profits ,there should be regulating bodies on corporates who have been provided cheap resources to stop unwarranted and unreasonable rise in prices. GOI will have to provide water, food, house, education to all common men at affordable price .
GOI may suggest tender process for acquisition of land for bigger projects or allow private corporates to buy piece of land as per their suitability slowly and gradually so that market price of landed property does not rise at accelerated speed. and so that it does not become unaffordable for common men. GOI will have to give some discretion to state government to take care of farmers in the states because each state has its own priorities . Some states are contributing more farm products and some are producing industrial products. Some are backward in education and some are advanced. Some states have more mineral resources and some have very little. As such some powers have to delegated or invested in state governments too to amend the Land acquisition process suitable for the state.
In this way , at least BJP led state government can keep the bill intact and perform better if BJP think that the bill is growth oriented. And to compete with BJP led state governments, sooner or the later Non-BJP governments will also fall in line and finally it will be victory of common men who are eagerly awaiting Achhe Din to come to their life.

Land Bill: Farmers’ body distances itself from Anna Hazare’s padyatra, says his vision ‘limited to 3% of farmers’-Indian Express
Anna Hazare
Written by Atikh Rashid | Pune |

The All India Farm Policy Coordination Committee — a group of farmers’ associations in the country — has distanced itself from the ‘padyatra’ (foot march) planned by social activist Anna Hazare to resist the land acquisition bill, saying Hazare’s vision is limited to the well being of only “3 per cent farmers who actually own land”. They said Hazare was ignoring other equally pressing issues faced by farmers and farm labourers.
The committee held a three-day ‘Kisan Convention’ in Wardha from March 8-10 — around the same time when Hazare and other activists met there (on March 9) to chalk out a detailed plan of the 1,100-km march from Wardha to Delhi.
The convention organised by the AIFPCC was attended by several prominent farmers’ leaders, including Lingraj Azad, Bhavini Parekh, Rakesh Tikait, Vijay Jawandhiya, Medha Patkar and Yogendra Yadav. While the meeting headed by Hazare was attended by Rajendra Singh, Akhil Gogoi, Amarnath, Dr Sunilam and Vishwambhar Choudhary and former RSS ideologue Govindacharya among others. Activist Medha Patkar attended the Hazare meeting too.
According to those who participated in the meets, while AAP’s Yogendra Yadav wanted to attend the Hazare meeting, the latter opposed it citing his political affiliation.
Jawandhiya, a prominent member of the AIFPCC, said though there were efforts on part of the Hazare camp to take the support of AIFPCC to their agitation, it was opposed by the committee due to difference of opinion over the singular objective of the protest.
“We want a holistic movement to oppose a number of anti-farmer policies of the Modi government, which are affecting the farmers and farm labourers. There are issues such as fixing justifiable prices to farm commodities, subsidies, export policy and policy on genetically modified crops, which need urgent consideration. But Anna’s agitation is focusing only on the land acquisition bill. While there is no doubt that the bill is unjust, it isn’t the biggest problem that is affecting the farmers’ community today. Of the total people involved in farming, only 3 per cent are land owners,” said Jawandhiya.
He said while they tried to bring this point home with the Hazare camp — with Patkar acting as mediator — an understanding could not be reached. “After deliberations, the Hazare camp was ready to include other pertinent issues in the agitation agenda. However, while we are sure they would include our concerns in the agenda, these will be put on the backburner and the land bill will remain in the forefront. Thus, there is no point in being a part of the agitation, which ignores the real issue. I think Mr Hazare should rename the ‘farmers’ agitation’ to ‘land owners’ agitation’,” said Jawandhiya.
AIPFCC is planning a separate agitation against the “anti-farmer policies” and to press the government to fulfill the promises made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his Lok Sabha campaign.
Playing down the dissent, Vishwambhar Choudhary, a close aide of Hazare, said both groups were working
