Prime Minister Narendra Modi hit out at the Opposition on Thursday for blocking the Bill to amend the Land Acquisition Act in the Rajya Sabha.
Addressing a largely rural gathering after dedicating to the public the first phase of the 2,520-MW Singaji thermal power plant, near here, he accused the Opposition of being anti-poor, anti-farmer and anti-development. The Bill was meant only to remove the block imposed by the previous UPA government in taking up development projects.
