---- China held talks with both main parties in recent months (and maybe spoke to some fringe parties as well), and you can bet that during the conversations with BNP and JAMAT , one of the major topics was the Teesta river project.
--This project had been on various tables for over ten years, making no progress-and suddenly its been agreed and due to be signed by Dec.-
-There were no leaks, no press chat, no further progress announcements,---- just the go-ahead----and it has caught virtually everyone by surprise.---There has been just the faintest of grumbling coming from India (as you would expect), but at a stroke, this project is now live and progressing.

---could the same happen about Phulbari ??
-Could we wake up one morning--THIS side of the elections--, and find the SOD has been given the GL
-I keep asking myself why Yunus would have recommended that any incoming GOV should go ahead and OPM Phulbari, without committing to give the go-ahead himself.--------------Was he waiting for the first part (the Teesta River) to be agreed, before he could sell OPM to the people, and he thought that would come after the elections, so put the onus on a new GOV.
Now with the TR all agreed and due to be signed off in Dec, could he now surprise everyone and approve the SOD at Phulbari in his last few months of power.
-- What has he got to lose now ??
