Default Sahara Investment in BD

Looks like Sahara is interested for a huge investment in Bangladesh. If everything goes through, this will be the largest foreign investment in Bangladesh. Roy's 3 days visit has been very high profile where he met PM and other elite businessmen. The media also heavily covered his trip. He unveiled the logo for their new Bangladeshi company called "Sahara Matribhumi".

Here was the original thread about their involvement in townships

But looks like, they will create more than towns. They already showed interest ranging from sponsoring cricket team to other social services. Roy is also evoking personal emotions reminding everyone of his ancestral roots in Bikrampur.

সুব্রত রায় বলেন, 'আমার পূর্বপুরুষ এই বাংলার। আমার মায়ের বাড়ি বিক্রমপুরে। আমি তাঁকে নিয়ে আসতে পারিনি। বলে এসেছি, এখানে আসছি। তিনি শুনে খুশি হয়েছেন। আমার এক মামা বলেছেন, বিক্রমপুর থেকে তাঁর জন্য একটি গাছের পাতা নিয়ে যেতে।

Please share your thoughts. What will be the effects of the largest foreign investment in Bangladesh? Is this another way the rich and politicians will make money under the table? How will it benefit us?
