Newsclick interviewed Economist Smita Gupta on the issue of Land Acquisition Bill which is scheduled to be tabled in ongoing Parliamentary session. 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 and Shiv Sena has decided to oppose it within the parliament. Smita 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 Adani and Ambani benefitting the most. BJP’s defense of the bill is an attempt to defend the indefensible – covering an anti-farmer policy in the name of creating employment to help the builder lobby.
