Reliance Haryana SEZ

[rsdalal]

Bhai Vikas thoda sa datt ja , itna tej tej na bhaje yaar....
I will give three examples, where govt proposed big projects and opposition opposed it without much reason
1. Tau Devilal proposed Disney kind of theme park in early 1990's, Every body opposed, project did not materialized for one or another reason. Same reason was give by all oposing parties, Kissan will loose their land, what they will do. But Haryana lost a big project near Delhi, which could have attracted tourisit not only all over India but nearby countries. Even India would have earned tourist money.
2. Cahutal proposed Casino in Las Vegas style and again opposed by every one for one or another reasons. Again Haryana lost a big revenue from tourists all over India.
3. Now Hooda govt proposed this project and opposition is approx have same stand.

As per my understanding once you want to oppose a project, you find some way to confuse people and once you are able to confuse about 20-30 % people, you are almost successful in achieveing your goal.

People are raising the issue, that local people should get job. Are mere yaar, job thare ghar la dee, aur ke chahiye, eb bhee agar koye Bihari/yaa Kerla ka wa job le ja te Govt ke kare gee....

Reliance does not need Haryana as much Haryana needs Reliance.... they get get same or better deal from some other states.

Reality...

Dear All,

There have been enough studies carried out on the impact SEZ has on the local environment, employment, development etc. I have also heard many expersts speak on this issue ever since this deal was signed. However, let us face some facts.

1. If Haryana Govt can keep even 50% of the promises the CM has made, then this is a wonderful step for haryana.
2. Let us not fool ourselves by thibking that Reliance is interested in people of Haryana. They are a business house interested only in business and profit making.
3. Commissisons (also called bribe by cruide people!!) are reality and such a big deal can never go through without all sorts of understanding, unwritten mostly, that take place before such a deal is signed.
4. Had Bhajan Lal been the CM then he would have sold the same deal as the biggest achievement for Haryana, second only to its creation. Dramebazz!
5. Unfortunately, the poor would remain poor even after this SEZ is alive and kicking. The labor would come from Bihar/Orrisa and settle down in Haryana. The JATS who are now counting their lacs would find out in due course of time that they were shortchanged.
6. The companies that rush to SEZ would stay as long as they are given tax benefits (may be 10-20 years) and then relocate, as has happened elsewhere.
7. As and when the Congress govt falls in Haryana and is replaced by another one, an inquiry will be ordered. But don't worry, the Ambanis will take care of that.

However, I am still in favor of this deal as it would expose our people to some world class infrastructure, training facilities (as promised) and futuristic industries. Hopefully, JATS would benefit.

Well said Malik Sahab. Best would be that people of Haryana (Western UP walon ka bhi dhyaan rakhna Bhaiyon..LOL) get ready and acquire right skills to take maximum benefit of the job openings in the SEZ. Employers won't wait for Haryana people indefinitely. Government of Haryana should educate people about the type of opportunities likely to open in this SEZ and guide/ help them to acquire right skills and qualifications. In my view the maximum focus should be on this now rather than wasting time on non-productive debates.
