Act now or let the crisis be -
MC Govardhana Rangan, Economic Times
For centuries, as we have seen, crises have followed a pretty predictable path. Foreign investment flows into a country and helps fuel an asset bubble of one sort or another. In the process, as private consumption rises and investment booms, the country's current account deficit widens. Large fiscal deficit may emerge, and debt and leverage accumulate. At some point, the bubble bursts, and various sectors of the economy suffer. Eventually, the country defaults on its debt, or its currency collapses; or both happen at once,'' Nouriel Roubini wrote in Crisis Economics.

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. |
