The people of orissa should understand that in order to be self sustainable there has to be sacrifice. No revolution has gone without a sacrifice. People today who are agitating against POSCO has to understand that what are the options left after POSCO is gone. Do they have anything with them which will make them and their state rich. Why are states like Maharashtra, Gujrat and AP way ahead of orissa. Its not because of agriculture, its all because of investment. States like Gujrat has big housese like Reliance operating from there. What do we have in orissa. And when money tries to come in people oppose that. I know that if 100 crores of investment comes in, 80 crores will go to the politician and mafia, but we are rest assured that the 20 crores will come for the people right. Its always better to have something than nothing (NAI MAMU THU KANA MAMU BHALA). It has nothing to do with Naveen Patnaik, we as the people of Orissa should understand ourselves. Even if POSCO makes 100 crores in profit would definitely get 20 crores, not to forget the other factors of development that comes in with investments.
I just have a simple question to the so called "POSCO Pratirodh Sangram Samiti". DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO GIVE TO THE POOR PEOPLE IF POSCO PLAN DOES NOT WORK OUT. You will all continue to stay in the same poverty that you had been doing since years. Why not make the life of people in the state better?
