In a major development, the NDA Government has stepped down from its arrogant position of passing the Land(Amendment) Bill moved by it in the Parliament  which was strongly opposed by Congress, Left and other opposition parties.. The government issued ordinance three times unable to get it passed in the parliament.

Now in the Joint Parliament Committee examining the bill, the ruling members have agreed to remove many of the clauses in the bill, which has been opposed by the opposition parties.

It is reported that in this scenario, the Land (Amendment) Bill may get passed. This development is a big embarrassment for the government and a victory for the opposition.
