If Modi becomes PM, India Inc to be treated at par

Given the fact that the BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi is assumed to be largely supported by the Corporate Houses across the country, whispersinthecorridors.com tried to find out from its surfers that which business house will be the top most gainer incase Modi assumes the high office.

And the opinions of all the respondents clubbed together indicate that no single business house will be favoured. "All will be treated at par". However, some of the surfers felt that Ambanis and Adanis will be at an added advantage.

"No business house will be number One if Modi becomes PM. All business houses will be happy because the atmosphere in the administration will no longer be anti-business. Modi will not tolerate nonsense from anybody and will not promote any one unduly", said Arjun Mallik
Another surfer N V K Prabhakar also said, "Narendra Modi is a clever administrator with a foresight. Hence instead of supporting a business house or two, he will create competition among the business houses to multiply his developmental index".

Similarly, Aarti Khosla also opines that no single corporate house is going to gain from Modi if he becomes the Prime Minister of the country. "His 'closeness' to Adani and Ambani has been made much use of in criticising him during this campaign. The critics however forget that these two corporate houses have contributed much to the growth of Gujarat and to the national growth as well", she says.
Yet another prominent contributor to our columns, A K Saxena who is a retired civil servant has opined that none of the business house will have any advantage of Modi becoming the PM because, in his view, such blatant favouritism or crony capitalism has been rampant during UPA's regime, due to systematic subversion of all investigative agencies.

Another surfer, Harish Kumar said, "Consider the flip side, if Modi becomes the PM, no direct or indirect help to any corporate house would be possible. This is a competitive world. No industrialist will have an edge over other, the prospective Modi Government will be cautious in years to come especially due to recent happenings"..
R K Nagpal who claims to have worked in Gujarat in Banking & Finance field with H Q at Ahmedabad from 1995 to 2007 asserts, "It is an admitted fact that NAMO is pro development, man of tremendous administrative capacity & capability and has changed the face of Gujarat in every field - be it infrastructure ( roads, ports power generation ( including solar power ) & distributions, it may be Tourism, may be agriculture".
Only one surfer, Sagar Chawla feels that Adani Group and Ambani group would further prosper if Modi becomes Prime Minister.

EC reputation?

It is alleged by one of the Cabinet Rank Minister of one of the State that EC is working as a Govt. agent like CBI. This is also alleged that EC is working on cherry picking things and allowing Govt. in some hasty decisions. This perception going to public is not healthy. EC is constitutional body and to work independently. Heavens would not have fallen if concurrence to go ahead with certain decisions of Govt. not given. EC should take uniform decisions for all political parties and parties should feel it in positive way. Leaders are making derogatory remarks for someone and continues to do say still but in some cases action is taken and in some cases no action. Such leaders represent Parliament and may continue in coming days but what impression they leave to their followers. EC should check it in more assertive way. Do not allow at the last phase of election as hardly 10 days are left for model code of conduct to continue. EC should make residency of 2 years compulsory for candidates for contesting election from particular place. At present any body can fight election from any place. He has no attachment or affiliation to the place from where is contesting election. What development he will do? This is creating more problems to public. EC should work on these reforms rather allowing Govt. to do certain things in last 10 days.

N Prakash

Concentrate on conduct of election

E.C should concentrate on conduct of election rather than on model code of conduct.

K Srinivasan

Independent CEC ?

Political appointment do not guarantee churning out of "independent CEC." All important constitutional posts like CAG, ECs should be selected by a committee which should also include CJ of SC.

R Krishna

Present govt. busy awarding officers close to it

The present Government is busy awarding the officers close to them before they quit. All posts abroad whether in IMF, World Bank, WTO or non-IFS posts in embassies like Minister (Economic) etc. are being filled by the officers who worked with the Prime Minister, Finance Minister or the Commerce Minister. For appearance sake applications are invited for some of these posts but a line is added that the preferably the officer should have worked in DEA or Finance Ministry .That means only whom Chidambaram wants is selected. If it is Commerce, then the one desired by Commerce Minister gets the coveted job abroad. Of course one who has worked with PM can always get one in Washington. The recent exodus of favourites to greener pastures abroad at the cost of more deserving and suitable officers is another condemnable act of this Government.
