Tackling red terror -
Times of India
Even as the fate of abducted Sukma district collector Alex Paul Menon continues to hang in the balance, the release of BJD MLA Jhina Hikaka from Maoist captivity is welcome news.

Verbatim |
 There was for years an old "social contract" between politicians and business. This provided for complex rules and regulations that made it impossible to do business honestly in many fields. But it was possible to do business dishonestly, through pay-offs . Some called this "efficient corruption" : politicians took money and delivered clearances. However, the anti-corruption mood of the courts, and new fears of getting caught (like Pawan Bansal) have ended "efficient corruption" . Politicians may still take money but not deliver on clearances , what some call "inefficient corruption" that freezes investment and growth. The old social contract has broken down.
