Don't make words like infrastructure, industry bad: Jaitley tells Congress

New Delhi, Feb 26 (IBNS): Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Thursday slammed the Congress over the Land Acquisition Bill amendments and said the party, which ruled the country for ten years before losing power last year, should not make words like 'infrastructure' and 'industry' as 'bad words' in India.

"Don't create an environment in this country in which two words - infrastructure and industry - become bad words," Jaitley said while speaking in the Rajya Sabha.

"And that is what you're doing," he said attacking the Congress.

The Centre  on Tuesday introduced the Land Acquisition Amendment Bill 2015 for proposed changes in rules for land acquisition in the Lower House of the Parliament.

Soon after the Bill was introduced, the Congress raised strong opposition and staged a walkout protesting against the move.

According to majority of Oppositions, the Bill was against the farmers' prospects.

Social activist Anna Hazare has also opposed it.
