Reliance SEZ deal between the Haryana government and RIL group was signed on the 19th of June. This was amidst protests and differences between various political parties who want to gain mileage as well make money(the obvious way). The loser - farmers whose lands have been acquired by the Haryana Government at far lower rates compared to ruling market price.
However, today MLAs and MPs of Indian National Lok Dal met Governer Kidwai and demanded cancellation of the deal. They have alleged that HSIDC which acquired land in Guragon to setup its own SEZ has now transferred the same to RIL acting as an agent of Reliance. The worst part of the deal is some parts of land are quoting at prices as high as 80Lakhs to 5Crores/ acre and the farmers owning those tracts of land have been given a mere compensation od Rs25 Lakhs/acre.
Why is this sudden greed for land for an industrialist like Mukesh Ambani ? Dhirubhai was known to create wealth out of nothing, even barron lands were turned into fertile. Remember how western Gujarat was before the senior Ambani ventured ? Mukesh is an industrialist and probably has to setup large-scale manufacturing base best suited to compete in the international markets. Hopefully, Anil will remind his elder brother about their fathers secret to turn wasteland into Gold and not to follow the advise of lesser mortals like Anand Jain.
