It is absolutely wrong comparing Buddhdeb with Narendra Modi. Modi did for certain principles and protect the Hindus by the systematic attack on them by the Minority Communities and the so called political parties. Whereas Buddhdeb did it for the development of industrialisation of West Bengal at the cost of poor farmers and to benefit him and his party. DO NOT COMPARE NARENDRA with Buddhadeb. The acquisition of land should be handled in a professional humane manner, without upsetting any party in the dispute. I have seen many Corporates give big assurances to the local communities at the time of acquiring land, and later on will just ignore them. If they want some speecific land, I suggest they can go for dredging the sea and create new islands and give them to the major corporattes, who should pay for the bills.

MR. Venkatraman Ramachandran Were you privy to the details of mr. modi's systematic attack on minorities in Gujarat? I am a resident of Ahmedabad for 24 years and am in a position to affirm this, that we have seen far worse situations in Ahmedabad before 2002 and there has been peace all around in Gujarat post Godhra! Yes there was blood shed during the godhra incident! But then the media too must share its responsibility for repeatedly showing the burning train and the simulated cries of passengers (they even used footage from the hindi movie Burning Train)! All the messiahs of peace like Mr. Rajdeep of the then NDDV, and the other channels went about showing the carnage non stop during that day, unmindful of the potential damage that could arise, and which is what happened! For your in formation, more lives have been lost in Ramanathapuram district of tamil nadu and many districts in UP and Bihar on caste battles than that were lost during Godhra Riots. I am not playing advocate for mr. Modi, but what i would like to state that, do not just believe what you read / see in the media and make judgements! You must see how the media behaves when the disturbances / riots erupt in states where there is a rule of their choice / or where there is a danger to their establishment, lest they say something about certain invididuals / parties! A case in point is mumbai? Compare and contrast the objectivity of media in reporting disturbances in a) Gujarat b) Maharashtr c) Karnataka!
