well, mr kabeer, yr comparison is totaly wrong, firstly as far as brabourne stadium is concerned it does belong to the cci and it is used for local tournaments including ranji trophy, as it is there is shortage of place for sports in mumbai. now take singur, firstly there is division of land , it may be fertile but returns today compared to the inputs like fertilisers etc are very less, it is a virtual hand to mouth existence. if you will see as in case of jawaharlal nehru port project, all the land was acquired and the locals along with compensation were also gvn jobs in the port and other ancillary and supporting companies like the cfs and shipping lines offices. it is a good deal, so what is wrong in singur, with tatas also are other industries that will gv employment to the sons of farmers, income would be more than that from the fields. as it happens they hv accepted the money, now people like mamta are raking this issue for personal gain. it will be a huge loss for bengal if this doesnot materialise. it will become an outcast for investments
