NEW DELHI: The land acquisition bill may miss the monsoon session deadline as well. In addition to the LaMo-Vyapam political clouds and the stated reservation of Opposition parties to the bill, there are indications that many in the BJP too are skeptical of pushing the contentious legislation before the Bihar polls given the electoral sensitivity of the agrarian issue in the rural political fields.The JD(U)-RJD-Congress alliance has already decided to make the proposed bill a major campaign point, and to project it as something that will "snatch away farmers’ land".A combination of all these factors, sources say, is slowing down the desire to accelerate the proceedings of the joint panel examining the bill. While the term of the panel extended to July 28, leaving just a window of a fortnight for pushing the bill in the session, sources see the possibility of demands for further extensions.Some MPs in the panel who reached Delhi last week for a scheduled meeting got a first-hand experience of the ‘speed-breakers’ when the meeting was put off, citing heavy rains here. "Given the projected importance of the bill, one does not know whether it was indeed the rains or the growing lack of enthusiasm of some influential parties that resulted in the washout of the meeting," said a member.The next meeting of the committee is scheduled for Thursday and the government is expected to give its views. Many Opposition parties are planning to ask for more time to go through the records and frame up amendments. It will be interesting to see whether BJP members will oppose the Opposition demand or tactically play along keeping in mind the Bihar election issue.
