PEACEFUL INDUSTRIALIZATION

In the middle of an assembly session our honorable chief minister gets surprised to see something under the red carpets in Odisha assembly. He suddenly passes a resolution to put a break in assembly proceedings. This time the opposition is not allowed to run a symbolic assembly. The media can not break into in to the matter so as the MLAs of the ruling party. Rato raat our CM calls for an expert geological team and the team hands over their report after one week. The people of Odisha eagerly wait the outcome of the report thinking a danger prevailing in the assembly premises.

But after 15 days the CM addresses the media with a smile on his face because the geological team finds large deposits of Diamond in assembly soil and our CM was the 1^st one to discover the trace of shining metal from a hole created on the floors under the red carpet. The news spreads like a wild fire and every one in the cabinet gets very happy because after chromite, iron and so many ores finally we have a diamond deposit.

The next day CM signs an MOU with a multinational company. As a firm believer of industrialization he assures rapid acquisition of land. The other day almost all the leading news papers come up with a headline”Multicrore diamond factory is to be set up in Assembly premises”.

Then the most difficult stage of land acquisition comes to picture. The cabinet decides to shift the assembly house to a new place. The opposition stages a dharna demanding shifting of the project to another place. But the Government decides not to alter the location and assures good compensation packages for every affected person. The ministers also get in deep thinking to shift their offices. In the mean while the agitation of the opposition continues and the fury takes a violent mode. The state takes the help of police department saying that the agitators are not the legal owners of the land. The police brutality touches to extreme point and the agitators start taking the pinch. The next day all the newspapers quote CM “Negotiations are still on and we want peaceful industrialization”.
