This is an ideal example of an in house bickering which is in doldrums and insecurity for loosing a large section of vote bank .Infact the farmers are going to get benefit out of this (marginally though)as no doubt they will get more from the Reliance than what they are paid by the middlemen and their honchos.Often the produce rots in the field.But as in this particular case- the votebank here(mainly the middlemen and associates) plays a pivotal role in the elections which goes in favour of the Forward Block.So obviously they are against it.Another point in favour of FB is that, suppose this is the first step.What if, as the next step, Reliance offer the farmers a hefty price for the lands in due time and then set up big industries in the agricultural land?So FB no doubt have a point to prove.But initially the farmers would benefit from this.The question is does the left front has the potential to monitor the procedings ,once the ball gets rolling?Do they have the foresight to apprehend this?
