Land acquisition, R&R [Rehabilitation and Resettlement] Bills run into Mamata hurdle [India]

Railway Minister and leader of Trinamool Congress Mamata Banerjee may force the government to redraft the much-delayed Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R&R) Bill 2007 and the Land Acquisition (Amendment) Bill...Both the Bills have been pending in Parliament...and form the lynchpin for faster industrialisation...The Trinamool Congress wants sweeping changes in the Bill. Not only does the party want “land banks” to be created by all state governments, it also wants farmers to have the legal right to get back their land if the proposed project is not set up on the acquired land. [refers to ArcelorMittal, Posco, Tata]
