In 2015, Modi has brought Land Acquisition Bill to acquire land parcels adjoining highways at market rates.
The intention was to set up Industries and Infrastructure to create Rural jobs.
Congress instigated the farmers that Modi Govt is out to forcefully acquire their land.
All opposition party ganged up on this issue. Even some of its allies distanced themselves with this ordinance.
Modi Govt was branded Suit-Boot ki sarkaar, which is helping his industrial friends to set up their factories.
ironically even Industrial houses opposed the move.
Rajya-Sabha numbers were stacked against him.
Modi has to withdraw the bill amidst opposition. Even his supporters questioned his 56 inch image and tweeted jokes /memes. NOTA gang also got activated and started instigating his supporters.
His supporters were also abused & hounded
Modi waited patiently and when time came he came with an enabling provision which empowers states to Acquire Land for industrial use. Since it was optional the bill was easily passed. All NDA states immediately ratified and adopted the bill in their state assemblies.
Now all NDA states started attracting industries as Land was been acquired by the states. All fresh businesses started flowing into NDA states. Feeling left out, one by one all opposition states ratified same land acquisition bill which they opposed in 2015.
Today India is rapidly acquiring farm land by giving adequate compensation to the farmers.
More than 20 Expressways are getting build in India on the land acquired & hundreds of industrial corridors/ food parks are coming up adjoining those roads
