Madhya Pradesh Assembly polls: Land acquisition may hurt BJP's prospects

In 2007, the Madhya Pradesh government allocated land for the SEZ

“We are not happy with the state (MP) government. They transferred my fertile land to corporate houses without following the procedure. The compensation we have got is meagre. They are neither raising the amount nor returning our land,” said Sunil Kadwe, whose 200 acres has been acquired by Chhindwara Plus Developers in Satnoor, Saunsar, where the company is developing a special economic zone (SEZ).

In 2007 the Madhya Pradesh government allocated this land for the SEZ. The government had assured almost 25,000 tribals of 500 families that they will get employment and adequate compensation for the acquisition.
