Bhubaneswar, Jun 21 (PTI) BJP today warned the Orissa government against renewing its MoU with Posco-India and accused Posco Pratirodh Sangram Samiti (PPSS) of following "double standard" by allowing survey in the proposed project site near Paradip and thereby giving "tacit approval" to it. "The MoU with Posco which expires today should not be renewed at any cost as the proposed project in fertile area will prove disastrous for poor farmers," senior BJP leader Bijoy Mohapatra told reporters here. Threatening that any move to hand over Khandadhar mines to Posco for extracting iron ore and allowing it to draw water from Jobra barrage near Cuttack would be opposed strongly by the party, Mohapatra said all concessions including facilities offered under SEZ would also be opposed. On PPSS allowing survey work in proposed plant site, he said, "It is nothing but double standard. By giving consent to the survey PPSS has clearly shown it is ready for setting up of the plant in the area." Earlier, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik had said renewal of the MoU with Posco-India is being processed and "whatever will be done will be according to rules and regulations". PTI AAM SKN NIK.
