Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Deputy CM Manish Sisodia arrive at Maharashtra Sadan in New Delhi to meet veteran activist Anna Hazare.

Hazare and Kejriwal meeting is set against the backdrop of the agitation against the land acquisition ordinance.

The government is bringing a new bill to replace the Land Ordinance amid stiff opposition from non-NDA parties in Parliament and outside.

The Land Acquisition Act, 2013 stipulates mandatory consent of at least 70 per cent of land owners for acquiring land for Public Private Partnership (PPP) projects and 80 per cent for acquiring land for private companies.

In December last, the government had promulgated the Ordinance making significant changes in the Land Act including removal of consent clause for acquiring land for five areas -- industrial corridors, PPP projects, rural infrastructure, affordable housing and defence.
