The government and the Bhartiya Janata Party have come to an agreement on several crucial clauses including the controversial compensation and retrospective clauses.
"After a successful meeting, we are glad to inform that largely there is consensus. We are now certain that this bill will now move to the Parliament," Kamal Nath, Parliamentary Affairs Minister said.
However, there were some discordant voices, including from the left parties and the DMK which still harbors some reservations. "It is not possible to strike unanimity on any bill. This Land Bill is no different. The matter will now be discussed in the Parliament," Ram Gopal Yadav Senior Leader of Samajvadi Party said.
Doubts apart, what seems to have been achieved a breakthrough is the government agreeing key demands of the BJP, including suggestions that instead of acquisition and that the land be only leased to developers. The government has also agreed to amend the bill so as to allow states to enact laws in this regard.
Jairam Ramesh, Rural Development Minister said that BJP approached the all party meeting in a very constructive spirit.
"And there were two issues that Srimati Swaraj and Mr Jaitley raised... one is that the states must be given the option not to acquire but to lease land. We will make provisions for that. And secondly, a very important point they have made - is that a lot of private parties have gone and purchased land after September 5th, 2011 when the bill was introduced in anticipation of the bill becoming an act. And now they will be eligible for compensation when government acquires this land. So there is a huge bonanza, a huge windfall gain for these middlemen. And the benefit will not go to the farmer. So what they are saying is that you must have some provision which ensures that if this land that has been purchased after 5th of September 2011, is acquired by the government, the benefit, if not hundred percent, some 50 percent should be shared with the farmers. I am perfectly in sympathy with this suggestion," Ramesh said.
More than seven changes have been incorporated including compensation for tenants. The clause for a retrospective cut off and 80% consent clause remain unchanged.
