SEZ
Special Economic Zone (SEZ), the emerging symbol of India's buoyant economy, has an altogether different dimension for fiery Bengal opposition leader Mamata Banerjee. She considers these spheres of economic progress as not more than Special Energising Zone (SEZ) as we have found out during her recent energy-filled opposition to land acqusition in Singur for the Tatas. Yes, Singur is not an SEZ but it entailed acquiring agricultural land from farmers. An energised Mamata having run out of issues against the Red rule lapped up the land acquistion drive to save the 'marginalised farmers', already at the bottom of the economic ladder. Never mind these farmers had no complaints against the compensation package. The voice representing the poor has again richochetted through the corridors of Kolkata. Save the farmers
