Why not Pranab Mukherjee for Prime Minister? -
Shankkar Aiyar, ExpressBuzz
The buzz in Delhi, depending on who you consider among the cognoscenti, and many parts of India is that Pranab Mukherjee is the front-runner for the post of the first citizen. He is the best man Congress can offer which the Opposition, and more importantly UPA allies, cannot refuse. Imagine Mamata Banerjee refusing to back the candidature of a Bengali for the top job!

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.
