Yes.

• Are you paying, or is it Reliance?

No, Reliance is paying them. We are not acquiring the land. Reliance is buying independently and paying them. We have devised policies. I recently announced that the Haryana State Industrial Development Corporation (HSIDC) and Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) . . .

• People will confuse HUDA for Hooda . . .

I’ll come to that. Whatever land we acquire, apart from paying compensation at the market rate, we’ll pay Rs 10,000 per acre per year for 33 years.

• For 33 years, Rs 10,000 per acre per year?

Yes, even though at present it is Rs 7,000-8,000 in some places. But this helps in giving a sense of belonging.

• This is more than the current deals on agricultural land.

And, as you were saying, in order that people may not get confused HUDA, which is Haryana Urban Development Authority, I’ve created the Haryana Rural Development Authority. When I was talking to a person like you, a friend, he was saying there’s HRDA, there’s HUDA, and you are also Hooda. I said that one is for urban development, one for rural development, and Hooda is the ‘Haryana Overall Development Authority’, for both rural and urban development.

• How challenging has industrialisation been for you? Different chief ministers have had different experiences. Buddhadev Bhattacharjee (in W. Bengal) has had one kind of experience, Narendra Modi (in Gujarat) another. What has your experience been like?
