Maya withdraws land for Sonia's pet rail coach project
The Sonia Gandhi-Mayawati battle for the political turf of Uttar Pradesh flared up months before the general election on Sunday when the BSP government in Lucknow cancelled its order for allotment of 189.25 hectares of gram sabha land for the setting up of a rail coach factory at Lalganj in Sonia Gandhi's parliamentary constituency, Rae Bareli.
The Congress president was scheduled to perform 'bhoomi pujan' of the factory on Tuesday, October 14. While the land has been reverted back to the gram sabha, Rae Bareli district magistrate Santosh Kumar has been directed to find an alternative site for the factory.
Congress leaders cried foul, accusing Mayawati of depriving the industrially backward state of a big manufacturing unit. They threatened to launch a movement to put pressure on her.
Railway minister Lalu Prasad termed Mayawati's move a "vengeful act" and regretted that UP would be deprived of a major opportunity for investment and employment.

Next Day-
I'll go to jail for Rae Bareli: Sonia

A prohibitory order banned her from holding a public meeting in Lalganj, but it couldn't gag Rae Bareli MP and Congress chief Sonia Gandhi. And her anger showed. "This place is now my home. I don't have to seek anyone's permission to come here. No one can stop me from visiting Rae Bareli," she said at Lalganj railway station, accusing UP CM Mayawati of obstructing progress by cancelling the land allocation for a rail coach factory nearby.
Meanwhile, the big fight between the two powerful women evidently generated much interest in the sleepy little kasba where everyone, from a farmhand to a college student, discussed the issue threadbare. For a battleground, the project site, spread across the 189.25 hectare land in a cluster of four villages — Aihar, Pannamau, Yoosufpur and Valauli — looked deserted and forlorn on Tuesday. Apart from a signboard, piles of bamboo shafts and plastic chairs and a giant generator standing on a tractor trolley, there was no sign of the mega-celebration planned in the vicinity.

"Until two days ago, it looked like a mela," said Dan Bahadur Singh, an old farmer. "There was a huge tent put up and the place was lit up, after labourers worked day and night to clear off weeds. But look at the place now. It seems as if a 'baraat' has turned away from the bride's home right after 'dwarachar'," he said.

Day 3-
SP lends support to Congress over Rae Bareli land issue

Terming the Mayawati government "anti-development", the Samajwadi Party on Tuesday said it will support the Congress over the land issue relating to setting up of a rail coach factory in Rae Bareli. "If the Congress so desires, the Samajwadi Party is ready to together launch an agitation against the state government which has cancelled land allotted for the rail coach factory in Rae Bareli," state working president of the Samajwadi Party Shivpal Singh Yadav told newspersons.


In this whole political propaganda who is going to suffer except us.
As like Singur this is another incident where development and job opportunites are going in vain. These politicians are hitting us as always.
Cheers to India Politics:mad:

wel it doesnt matter whr is this political fight takin place....

the ones who r worst affected r the ppl of tht state......

but thankfully mayawati agreed to give bak tht land for tht railways project....otherwise another singur wud hav taken place in UP too....as it is the state is reeling under the recent terrorist attacks n almost all the terrorists' roots being traced to UP.....

who eventually lost in singur in tht political battle tht mamta banerjee raged.....she jus moved on to other political agendas...but all the ppl who had set up their businesses arnd nano factory r real losers......

some politicians in india really need to b taught a lesson...but since v r a democracy so they r also free to do wht they want...n eventually its the common man who loses out...
