The union minister also accused the Congress of playing "petty politics" over the land bill.

"Land acquisition bill is originally a Congress bill of 2013... but now for petty politics Congress is opposing it. Earlier Congress became synonymous with corruption now it is proving to be anti-development too," Jaitley said.
