Finance minister Arun Jaitley on Thursday alleged that the land acquisition law passed in 2013 under the UPA regime was a "conspiracy" to deprive rural areas of development and render landless people jobless.
"With an intention to serve their political interests, I can say the 2013 land law passed during the UPA government tenure was a conspiracy to keep rural areas aloof from development and to keep landless people jobless," Jaitley said.
He said in order to ensure development of rural areas and to generate employment for the landless, the amendment in the bill was necessary.
The law passed in 2013 had no provisions for military purpose, nuclear energy and for water resources schemes among others, he said.
