My dear Anil Kumar, Even one inch of land also is valuable, per se. The only thing is, when you have to decide whether the 400 acres of land is going to give further prosperity to the State or the unique pioneering car factory that too from an industrial house with impeccable credentials. If your logic is accepted, then no goverment can acquire any amount of land for any public purpose. The car factory, its ancillaries and other trades and business depending on it would give employment for many more times the 5,000 that you have quoted. And you seem to miss a thing: that I said, Mamata should have fought for a higher compensation to the farmers. Most of the Indians have never been with her, whatever her antics. She has been wasting her energies on non-priorities, with the result the only possible bulwark against Communists has collapsed, thanks to her blind opposition to the car factory, just because it is happening in the CPM rule. Also, pl note that Mamata has never been near any number that has been close to getting power in WB. Moreover, she has been changing her allies too often, showing her political fickleness. She has, badly-sadly-unfortunatey missed her course.
