Motor vehicles amendment bill comes back from standing committee, welcomed in Lok Sabha

A BILL that proposes radical reforms in traffic laws, imposing strict penalties for violations and holding vehicle manufacturers accountable for design defects, found all-round support in Lok Sabha Friday. So did Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, whom Opposition MPs described as a “very good” minister who takes everyone on board.

The Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Bill 2016 had been introduced in Lok Sabha on August 9, 2016, then referred to the standing committee on transport, tourism and culture. Gadkari said he has incorporated most of the suggestions of the committee, and also those of a group of state transport ministers.

Debating the bill, Congress leader K C Venugopal said Gadkari has been a very “sincere” minister trying hard to address major challenges facing the road transport sector.

BJD member Tathagata Satpathy said Gadkari is a “hardworking person” bent on proving that good work can be done even if the government is bad. “Even in the darkest of night, a single star looks bright,” he said.

At the same time, Gadkari also earned some criticism. Venugopal said he did not like Gadkari’s role in Goa, and that he had played a villain there. When Gadkari intervened to object, it was with a smile.
