Scooters India vs reforms -
Financial Express
Putting off the strategic sale of the sick Scooters India Limited (SIL) in the light of the Uttar Pradesh election was perhaps understandable—after moving a resolution in Parliament on inducting a strategic partner into SIL, the PMO had this withdrawn last year—but now, even after the UP elections are over, the government is moving a Cabinet note to revive the PSU on its own.

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.
