Amendment to the Land Acquisition Act that the BJP has introduced in Parliament has been opposed not only by anti-NDA parties but also by its allies. Even RSS affiliated Bhartiya Kisan Sangh openly protested against the Amendment. Newsclick interviewed senior journalist, Paranjoy Guha Thakurta on the issue. Paranjoy strongly criticized the Bill, and said that it is against the rights of the farmers and meant only for the benefits of few corporates, with Gautam Adani benefitting the most. BJP’s defence of the Amendments is an attempt to defend the indefensible – covering an anti-farmer policy in the name of creating employment to help the builder lobby.
