Child of Assam Accord has nothing Assamese in it...

Child of Assam Accord has nothing Assamese in it...
If the Assam Accord was a draft of deception, the ongoing gas cracker project near Dibrugarh is simply an addition to the trickery. With the announcement of the gas cracker project — Brahmaputra Cracker and Polymer Limited (BCPL) — the people of Assam were overtaken with a fond dream of employment, economic well-being and related affluence, but only to be disillusioned very soon. The dream of economic well-being was strong enough for Lepetkata villagers to part with their ancestral land and property. Ironically, the gas cracker project, even before becoming productive, has the local people’s dreams and aspirations lie completely shattered.
