Ramesh takes a leap from Parsaul to Paris

January 16, 2015 14:40

Former law minister Jairam Ramesh created quite a stir at Bhatta Parsaul village in UP, holding forth against the Modi government's Land Acquisition Act.

Ramesh, who was also a rural development minister, attended a farmers' meeting in the village.

The Congress has so far been alleging that the ordinance promulgated the government takes away the powers given to the farmers by the Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, enacted by the UPA-II regime in 2013.

Ramesh, who wore a green turban typical of Haryana farmers addressed the crowd in fluent Hindi to much applause.

From Parsaul, Ramesh drove straight to the international airport to catch a flight to Paris for his lecture tour junket.
