#MamataVsModi: Mamata plans Saradha counter

  • 5 years ago
Since Narendra Modi is daring the opposition by enacting laws through ordinance, especially the contentious Land Acquisition Act, here is the challenge he should really provoke the states to accept if they dare: try and over-ride the central law with state-specific legislation.

In fact, if he wants to leave a lasting legacy of federalism, he should offer to enact a constitutional amendment that reverses the current provision where laws in the concurrent list cannot be over-ridden by states unless the centre agrees.

Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee appears to have embraced a death-wish for business in West Bengal by saying she will allow the Land Acquisition ordinance to prevail over “my dead body”. She should be allowed to do so. Jairam Ramesh of the Congress has also promised to oppose the ordinance when it comes to parliament.

Modi should tell him that Congress states should feel free to re-legislate the old version of UPA’s Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Resettlement and Rehabilitation Act, 2013, if they want to.
