BD is paying nothing, $1 billion is paying for it.
n who is paying this 1 billion with interest.... is it india or Bangladesh.... I have never seen a moron like you...who can post such stupid stuff...
For transit access for some equipment one billion is not enough. When and how did you draw that conclution? How did you came with $2 billion number, please explaine. When the project is done its BD will keep all the infrastructure, so statement dose not compute. $1 Billion is not a big deal, for a third world country it is a big deal, not trying to undermine BD on this but for any third world country it is a big deal.
Are you naive.... the 1 billion loan has nothing to do with the transportation of the power equipment... this is a separate deal... all the loans amount will be used mainly for indias transit issue and by theor own company....
By the way ... which third world country you are talking about...
N regarding bangladesh for infrastructure 100s of country and donor agency are lined up to give loan or assistance...
N for express way search in the internet n see how much it is going to cost...

Bangladeshi cabinet approves design of Dhaka Elevated Expressway - People's Daily Online
The first phase of DEE will stretch over 22 km of the 32.5 km the Expressway project worth 2 billion U.S. dollars.
When you invite or have a deal with other country you just cant look for benefits for the other host country. Why do chinese are buildin Gawadar at Pakistan, becuase it not only benefit Pakistan but it allowes chinese to ship thier material through Pakistan in future. So your statement is unfounded.
1st who is inviting whom.... n here india is not building anything... like chinese... n most of the project are of no use for bangladesh only meant to fascilitate indias transit... which India will be done for free and bangladesh will have to pay the amount with interest... n only indian companies will do the projects...
Where did you
Billion dollar loan, million dollar questions
It is your illusion which is trying to divert from the main issue of this 1billion loan deal...
Will you explain what is the main issue... n how come it is diverting from the 1 billion loan deal....
On the surface the bhartis are saying India is providing this loan with a low interest... behind the scene bhartis are hiding the main treacherous part of the deal... Those are...
India will decide which are the project will be done and indian foreign ministry will approve that...
Only indian companies will do the deal and if any foreign assistance is required ...bhartis will decide which are the companies or contractor need to be selected...
If it was really meant for development of bd then bd would decide the project and contractor would be selected through a open tender...
N if indian companies delay to implement the project then bd will have to pay the interest...
It is not that BD people will be banned from these roads or Indian will destroy it when project is complete, it is merely a business deal in whuch both countries will benefit. And yes you heard me, I said BOTH.
Which project you are talking about.... All the project are related to facilitate to indian transit .... as I said before india will do the transit for free...
N the energy equipment transfer is a separate deal... it has nothing to do with the loan...
You are entitled to your opinion about the Indian bus standards but still there is more than just cost. If BD dont want to buy it, dont buy it. Go raise voice against it infront of your PM's house.
According to the clause of the loan... every item must be bought from india... there is no other way... thats what we are talking all about.... even though the contribution of the project to bd economy is questionable but still for better implement the project it is always desirable to select contractor or company through a open tender process...
Again if you dont like it, dont buy it or use it but Indian companies are in huge profits for a reason.
see above what I posted here... bd has no other choice but to buy indian goods according to the loan deal...

Billion dollar loan, million dollar questions
Who is building Billion dollar airport in every district?
no one.. but that was an example... that this is not necessary that every infrastructure project will be beneficial for bd... as bd right now does not need airport in every district... similarly many of the project which will be done with the loan is not required for bd right now ... specially with lower graded indian equipment ot companies...
This request for transit route to Nepal and Bhutan was made to Indian governent by ND government. You should do some search using google why to BD government wants that. I dont want to post all the links because I dont like baby spooning.
I told you that was just an excuse to cover the free transit to india... the amount of goods that india will trasit through bd without limit to NE India is no way comparable with the amount of goods that bd will transfer to nepal or bhutan...
N nepal and bhutan is not that much necessary for bd... those are very small market which are mostly dominated by chinese goods and rest by indian goods... after that there would be a very small scope for business over there... n nepal and bhutan is not a state of bd that it is really necessary for bd...
Well may be not to you but ask those traders who wanted thier government provide access to those markets.
Every trader will look for every possible market but it does not mean that it should be done with a great loss for the state... by imposing duty on indian goods bd will earn more money than doing business in nepal and bhutan... other than that... there are billions dollar worth of business are there in EU, usa, china, apan, middle east, africa for bd... other than nepal and bhutan..
How is this possible? You gain access by transit route.
Traffice congestion? May be but how this increases smuglling and bussiness loss? .
In NE india bangladeshi goods are more lucrative due to low price compared to indian goods as it takes a higher cost to take goods to NE India through chicken necks...
If transit is given then india will flood those market and from there to myaanmaar and south east asian countries.... n these will lead to loss of market for bd goods.... specially in NE india which india then will try to block after transit...
