medha patkar - real or faker?By: mahendra kamath | Wednesday , 4 Nov '09 11:30:28 AM Reply | Forward Why Ms. Medha Patkar is seen hampering only the developmental projects? Where was Ms. Patkar when so many farmers were affected due to earthquake and tsunami? What benefit is she really getting in such movements?These and more are the prime questions that arise in Ms. Patkar's all the movements. These projects are bringing in jobs, money and prosperity to such regions which had no demand at all in past. Ms. Patkar too knows well that the Lavasa project has a huge budget for community development of the local villagers. Still why is she cribbing about the issue over and over again? Is it for money, or popularity, or politics? If she is really working for the villagers and farmers, then why we don't see any developmental activities carried out for them by Ms. Patkar, other than agitations? Ms. Patkar can afford to travel around the globe and attend interviews. Then why she can't afford to help out the so-called "affected" people rather than hampering all the developmental projects ???

Why is this Ms Patkar so anti-developmentBy: Mohit | Tuesday , 14 Jul '09 12:04:42 PM Reply | Forward Medha Patkar is anti development. First it was Narmada - the benefits from the project are for everyone to see. Then it was Singur - (set WB back in my opinion).
