I should categorically mention it that it was not a unanimous decision. It was a consensus. I moved an amendment from our party’s side, the Trinamool Congress, and that was voted in August, 2013. The result of the voting was – Ayes ‘268’ possibly and Noes ‘19’. That was the difference.
So, Trinamool Congress is not against the introduction of any type of Bill as such, but that should be a pro-farmers’ Bill. When we opposed it, this Bill said: “That 80 per cent of the total land will have to be taken by the owner concerned and 20 per cent will have to be taken by the Central Government interference.”
