Kolkata: There would be no compromise on the Centre's land
acquisition Bill, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said, sticking to
her earlier stand of not supporting the Bill.
"Why should we support the land Bill? Land Bill, no
compromise," Banerjee said.
"It is linked with soil. It is linked with our
struggle," the Trinamool Congress chief said as opposition parties alleged
a "political bonhomie" between her and Narendra Modi with whom she
had shared stage while unveiling social security schemes in Kolkata and
modernised IISCO steel plant of SAIL at Burnpur.
"We have made our stand clear in Parliament. I sat on a
hunger strike for 26 days against forcible land acquisition," she said.
"It was our movement against forcible land acquisition
which had sparked the demand for abolition of the draconian Land Acquisition Act
of 1894," Banerjee, whose party staged prolonged land acquisition
agitations in Nandigram and Singur, stated.
