Rahul Gandhi arrested in Bhatta Parsaul

Rahul Gandhi arrested in Bhatta Parsaul: (Greater Noida) There was late night action in Bhatta Parsaul as the Uttar Pradesh police took Rahul Gandhi into preventive custody. The twin villages in Greater Noida , on the outskirts of the national capital, have been the epicentre of protests for the last few days. The state police whisked away the Congress leader as a preventive measure and sources say he may be dropped off at the DND flyover.

He, along with other Congress leaders, had planned to sit through the night. Sources said this was being seen as Rahul Gandhi taking on Mayawati on her home turf yet again. The state Congress President Rita Bahuguna Joshi has described the arrest as an act of cowardice.

Farmers were paid a little over Rs. 800 per square metre.  The same land was sold to developers at Rs. 3200 a metre.  And those developers are now offering residential plots, for example, at more than Rs. 14,000 a metre.
