President approves land acquisition ordinance

 

President Pranab Mukharji has approved the land acquisition ordinance today. This is second time he is approving the ordinance for the same purpose. Modi government has tried to pass the land acquisition bill during the recent parliament sessions. But, the opposition parties have stopped the bill in the Rajyasabha as the Modi government does not have sufficient strength. So, the Modi government has changed its strategy and sent the ordinance for President’s approval today just days before the expiry of the first ordinance. Hence, the Modi government once again gets six months time to present the land acquisition bill in the parliament.
