Explanation:

The government of Uttar Pradesh, India, has faced protests against its proposed enforced land acquisition in 2011. These protests have been centred on the village of Bhatta Parsaul, Greater Noida and have resulted in sporadic incidents of violence since January of that year. In August 2010 there had been protests against the state government in Delhi and these had resulted in three deaths.

The issue is controversial because around 65% of the Indian population is economically dependent on agriculture but the government has the power to requisition any private land which it thinks is needed for a "public purpose". Past examples of this included several acquisitions by regional authorities across India for the purpose of developing Special Economic Zones to boost the economy and create jobs. In this instance, the state government of Uttar Pradesh has requisitioned the land for the building of the Yamuna Expressway, a road linking Agra to Delhi.

The case of Uttar Pradesh Expressway scam, wherein builders acquired cheap land from the farmers to serve their monetary and business interest, is a common example of progress versus gross injustice.

  • The Rs 70,000 crore Ganga Expressway between Ballia and Noida, which will pass through more than 12 districts, and the Rs 9,700 crore Yamuna Expressway, which will pass through six districts between Agra and New Delhi, are the two main components of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati's urbanisation plan.
  • The main issue began when the government envisioned extensive urbanisation along these two expressways, which are being built by Jaypee Group. Most landowners are not opposed to the acquisition of land; instead, they merely want the market price for their property, a share of the projects that are created there, and jobs.
  • The individuals seated nearby had just finished their siesta when a recently purchased Mahindra Scorpio with an enormous Samajwadi Party flag was parked under a shade. When questioned about the alterations the under-construction Agra-Lucknow expressway has made in their life, their eyes brightened up. Sambhu Dayal of Nasirpur village in the Firozabad district claimed that "more than half of my land was seized for the project." Only a few metres separated his home and the upcoming freeway.
  • A total of 33,000 acres would be purchased for the Ganga Expressway, mostly in the cities of Ballia, Varanasi, Mirzapur, Allahabad, Pratapgarh, Rae Bareli, Unnao, Hardoi, Farrukhabad, Shahjahanpur, Badaun, and Bulandshahr.
  • The farmers claim that there is no clear policy in place by the state government for buying up arable land.
  • Introducing a new land acquisition policy, Mayawati.
