Union Minister for Road, Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari has accused the Congress of adopting double standards on the Land Acquisition Bill.
Union Minister for Road, Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari has accused the Congress of adopting double standards on the Land Acquisition Bill.
Gadkari alleged that the Congress did not think about the Social Impact Assessment and Consent clauses while acquiring large tracts of land in Haryana for Robert Vadra. "Then, the Congress did not think of SIA and Consent when Vadra was given land in Haryana? But when it comes to amendments made for farmers, the Congress opposes with an eye on the national vote bank," Gadkari told the media here.
Gadkari was here to inaugurate a series of infrastructure projects being undertaken under the aegis of the MoRTH worth Rs. 5000 crore in several parts of the state.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had earlier this month said misconceptions are being spread by opposition parties on the Land Acquisition Bill, and added that this is harming national interest.
