Government as risk factor -
Vinayak Chatterjee, Business Standard
Ask any infrastructure developer and he will tell you that the biggest risk factor is the government itself. The “sovereign” does not inspire confidence when, paradoxically, in financial markets, sovereign debt and sovereign guarantees are supposedly the safest you can get. Infrastructure developers will also tell you that the situation is akin to being invited to dinner as a valued guest; and as soon as you arrive at your host’s gate, you get roughed up, beaten and sometimes even killed by the guards on duty.

Verbatim |
 The UPA 2 government was conceived in corruption – and never really recovered from that taint. Right from the day the election results came in, the back-channel negotiations began for the reappointment of A Raja as Telecom Minister to advance the interests of certain telecom majors (in return for illegal gratification). It was an enterprise which set the stage for India’s biggest corruption scandal and virtually set the political tone for the rest of the four years. As subsequent exposes have established, Manmohan Singh and other key Ministers knew full well that mischief was afoot, but pointedly looked the other way. That was the beginning of the slide, and the UPA government in general – and Manmohan Singh in particular – was mortally wounded from that episode. But rather than press ahead with remedial action, the government slid further into the cesspool of corruption.

Split with Nitish will only boost BJP in Bihar -
K Balakrishnan, LensOnNews
WITH THE BJP seemingly decided on projecting Narendra Modi as its PM candidate and its close ally Nitish Kumar of JD(U) equally firm in his opposition to the idea, a split in the NDA alliance looks inevitable; most observers think it’s not a question of if, but when. |
