Lucknow, Sep 2 (IANS) Rashtriya Lok Dal chief Ajit Singh has decided to oppose the mega power project of Anil Ambani group on the Uttar Pradesh-Delhi border.

The party, whose influence is limited to the western parts of the state, will stage a rally Sep 5 to protest the acquisition of 3,000 acres.

"We are demanding higher compensation for farmers whose land has been acquired by the government for Reliance Energy," Singh told media persons Saturday.

"Farmers have been given a raw deal. It is clear that the government is sacrificing the interest of the farmers to extend undue favour to the industrial house.

"But the protest is not going to affect our alliance. We have a democratic right to oppose a wrong move of the government."
