Cong shamelessly opposing 'progressive' land bill: BJP

Going on the offensive, BJP today accused Congress of "shamelessly" opposing its "progressive" land bill for mere political posturing and creating confusion among people, declaring that it will take the battle to every village to dispel its "disinformation campaign".
Facing combined Opposition onslaught on the bill, the party hit back hard saying the Congress has miserably failed in its attempts in spreading disinformation over the measure and people of the country are not going to be fooled by its false propaganda.
"The Congress is shamelessly opposing this progressive law, which has better provisions of social security, only for mere political posturing and creating confusion among the people of this country," the 10-page resolution adopted at the party's national executive said.

"We are also aware of the fact that these are the times of contestations between the politics of obstructionism and the politics of development.
"Political parties and entities which have been thriving on divisive and dynastic politics are now issuing false slogans of alternative politics while in reality they are indulging in political posturing," it said.
Taking on the opposition, which stands united on the land issue in targeting the Modi government, the BJP said the Opposition is fighting among itself and is disconnected from the real struggles of the nation.

The political resolution adopted by the party's national executive on the concluding day noted that development and infrastructure are need of hour for all Indians including farmers and rural youth.

"However, it is unfortunate that the same Congress party is opposing this bill which, for 121 years, did not make any good change in this law to favour the farmers and common people of this country.
"In 1984, they rather brought in changes to favour the private players by making provisions where the government was asked to acquire land for private entities," it said.
The Political Resolution - "Panchayat to Parliament - Politics of Development, Prosperity and Progress", spoke of the "demise" of the UPA rule and lauded the various initiatives taken by the Narendra Modi government in the last 10 months, saying "It is BJP and our revered Prime Minister, along with our alliance partners that is inspiring trust in all Indians."

The resolution dwelt on a host of issues, including the party's string of electoral successes, the revival of the economy and the social sector initiatives while rallying behind every move of the government.
It also talked of cooperative federalism and "path-breaking" and historical decisions to establish transparency and procedural easiness for responsible governance.
