WHAT HAPPENS TO LAND BILL NOW?



Rajasthan-based farmer, Gajendra Singh's suicide at an Aam Admi Party rally in Delhi has given the oppositions an upper hand in the on going debate of Land Acquisition Bill, 2015
. This fresh ammunition to the opposition, who were vehemently opposing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's plan to introduce the land bill is expected to create more pressure on the ruling BJP government to make amendments to it.



The Congress and other opposition parties are likely to give adjournment motion and suspension of Question Hour notices in both Houses of Parliament on Thursday and demand a discussion and reply from the government, sources said. Meanwhile, the government is in a spot as its troubles have been compounded by the fact that Rajya Sabha resumes on Thursday and the Opposition will raise the issue strongly and link it to the land acquisition bill.

The farmer suicide, having a high potential to disrupt Modi's success anthem has made BJP plunge into quick action. Health Minister Jagat Prakash Nadda and Minister of State for Agriculture Sanjeev Baliyan visited the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital. The doctors informed the ministers that Gajendra Singh was brought dead.

The tech savvy Modi expressed grief over the suicide on twitter. The news report further says, Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi pipped Nadda and Baliyan to the post by reaching the hospital before them.

In fact Home Minister Rajnath Singh has already held a meeting with Delhi Governor Najeeb Jung and Police Commissioner BS Bassi on the matter this morning, with widespread protests ringing out in the capital. He is also expected to make a statement in the Parliament later in the day.
