Anybody out there? - Shekhar Gupta, Indian Express
The flavour of this disastrous season seems to be distinctly Greek. Who is to blame for the rupee and the Indian stock market being the emerging markets’ worst performers? And, of course, as the brilliant and irrepressible Indian Express columnist Surjit Bhalla points out in today’s Op-ed page, for India’s industrial production growth being the lowest in the world outside Europe?

Verbatim

Shashi Kant Sharma, Defence Secretary, is a surprise appointment as the new Comptroller and Auditor General following the retirement of Vinod Rai. the fact that as a senior officer in the Defence Ministry he had been a vital part of the decision-making process involving the most controversial purchase of Tatra trucks and the Agusta Westland helicopters, it ought to have automatically ruled him out for appointment as CAG. Conversely, the fact that as a bureaucrat he was a party to these deals may be precisely why he was appointed the CAG. He cannot be expected to pick holes in the very deals he had sanctioned as a senior bureaucrat in his new role as the CAG. Simple.

A conscientious citizen has challenged the appointment through a PIL in the Supreme Court.
