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.

What is the hurry ?
While all petty matters are being referred to and oft cleared and sometimes not by EC, the biggest side side stepping of norms is the sheer brazenness in attempts to issues posting orders in CBEC and CBDT. Even though orders are being forced down, the proverbial, throats of the two Boards, what is amazing, for a better word, Chicanery, is that the orders shall be effective from 1st of June. When the FM is definitely out considering that he is not contesting elections why officers are willing to tread where Angels refuse to; is agitating officers who may be affected and next regime will undo-therefore NA GHAR KA NA GHAT KA. Or is there an interest in the whole exercise, which knowing the officers can be exploited only on performance and not on promise.

Authority to post officers being abused !

With due regards to the defender of the Government action to award their favourites with foreign postings before demitting office, may I ask him whether those working in the personal staff of the Prime Minister, Finance Minister or other Powerful Ministers become outstanding by virtue of their proximity to the concerned ministers? Let us not deny the fact (forget about the foreign postings) that the authority to post and transfer officers is being abused by not only ministers but the senior officers who sometimes show total disregard even for well-laid principles.Favouritism,nepotism and of course corrupt considerations prevail to the great chagrin of upright hard working officers.As for this Government placing officers close to it in coveted assignments abroad ,no one will bite the argument that this is a regular exercise.

Landmark judgement of Supreme Court

The highest court of the country has delivered a landmark judgement in which officers of JS and above can be questioned by C.B.I. without taking permission from DoPT/Govt. This is a welcome step. Otherwise when ever any problem crops up regarding vigilance then the junior officers from Director and below were to face the brunt even if the folly has been committed by seniors.This will be a definite step in weeding out corruption at the top level.
