“Birla saheb ka cement, Tata saheb ki machine

And they say the Kisan will benefit.’

Former Prime Minister VP Singh took on the Government at Centre besides hitting fresh salvos at the Mulayam Singh Yadav’s three years in the Government, during a press conference recently. He was returning from a Janta March at Haidergarh near Barabanki at the time of addressing the presspersons.
VP Singh criticized the UPA Government’s anti-poor anti-farmer policies saying that the Governments of the day have bowed down in front of the moneyed corporate sector.
The former Prime Minister also categorically dismissed the Government’s plans to remove jhuggi jhopri clusters and give the land of the farmers to the SEZs. “No body is thinking seriously; if this continues then people will be left with no choice but to look at the extreme left,” he said, adding that “development means taking everybody along.” “If the Central Government is serious in this regard, it must amend the land acquisition act,” Singh added.
“If the basic rights of Indian citizens are not addressed in India, where would they go,” Singh said adding that the conditions have reached a stage where “Birla sahib ka cement, Tata sahib ki machine istemal hotee hai aur kaha jaata hai kisan ka faida hai.”
