With protests by the opposition and several farmer organisations against the recent amendments in the Land Acquisition Act by the Centre via an ordinance, the BJP has started a rethink...The government's dilemma is that while promulgating the ordinance in December last year, it had claimed that it was to improve ease of doing business. That is why going back on the legislation fully or making drastic changes will amount to a climb down on its reform agenda. The ordinance was aimed at easing land acquisition rules to kickstart hundreds of billions of dollars in stalled projects.
