Deepak Parekh Signals India Inc's Impatience, Says PM Modi Has Had 'Lucky 9 Months'

SO you're maintaining that the decision by ABVP was because demand was low and not because he wanted to increase the base of basic telephony?

Both were equally applicable in the mid 1990's, neither was applicable after 2005 . It's why I said that one cannot hide beneath the veil of a previous decision made in a different economic & social context. Every decision must stand on its own strength & arguments.
 
This proved what exactly.

That Nitin Gadkari doing a fantastic job.

It is the job of every human to protect the environment.
As for Gadkari and environment? Indeed. This has been proven beyond doubt. Even when he was a minister earlier in MAH government.

LOL.... in that case let all the judges, police, doctors, scientists, teachers etc leave their job and start protecting the forest :lol: ... what an idiotic argument.

Javedkar(former spokesperson) vs Gadkari(former Chief). Pretty fair match up.
I don't hate BJP and Modi like Gu-next-door-2. As far as environment goes though, there is wide consensus among all environmentalists that BJP is the worst. Tigers went down from over 3000 to 1411 in NDA's rule.

Nonsense. Your anti BJP rhetoric's speak otherwise. I don't care about previous NDA since I am no admirer of Vajpayee, but under Modi Gujarat and its Environment did GREAT. And since MOdi is now PM and head of govt. I have full confidence he will protect the environment unless its proven otherwise.

11 environmental disasters Narendra Modi blessed in his first 100 days – Quartz
https://www.opendemocracy.net/openindia/basudev-mahapatra/modi-government’s-war-on-environment
Consider what all the new government has achieved (or undermined, depending on which side of the growth-versus-green debate one stands) in just about three months:




  • Environmental and forest clearances have been delinked to allow work on linear projects, such as highways, on non-forest land without waiting for approvals for the stretches that require forest land. Defence projects get priority along China borders up to 100km from the Line of Actual Control in the sensitive eco zones of the higher Himalayas. The government has decided to soften some rules in the Forest Rights Act and Forest Conservation Act to step up economic activities in Naxal-affected states which account for some of the country’s best forests and the majority of our tribal population.
  • The height of the Narmada dam will be raised. Irrigation projects requiring 2,000-10,000 hectares are now exempt from the scrutiny of the Centre and can be cleared by state governments. Those requiring less than 2,000 hectares will require no green clearance at all. Separation of power generation components from irrigation projects has allowed promoters to project smaller requirement of land, making clearance easier.
  • Changes in the pollution classification now allow mid-sized polluting industries to operate within five km of national parks and sanctuaries (instead of the 10-km restrictive limit ordered by the Supreme Court).
  • Ban lifted on new industries in critically polluted industrial areas, such as Gujarat’s Vapi. Pollution index-based moratoriums were lifted and a review of the index has been ordered. Norms for coal tar processing, sand mining, paper pulp industries, etc. were eased.
  • National Board for Wildlife (NBWL) reconstituted by slashing the number of independent members from 15 to just three. This truncated NBWL cleared most of the 140 projects before it on August 12. On August 25, the Supreme Court questioned the Centre’s move, ruling that “any decision taken by it (NBWL) shall not be given effect to till further orders”.
  • The process of reviewing the National Green Tribunal Act to reduce the judicial tribunal to an administrative one has been initiated. Headed by a retired Supreme Court judge or a high court chief justice, the National Green Tribunal (NGT) hears all first challenges to environmental and forest clearances. “Laws keep changing,” Modi’s environment minister Prakash Javadekar has famously justified.
  • The new government has also diluted the Forest Rights Act that requires the consent of the local tribal population for diverting forestland. Instead of gram sabhas (village councils) certifying that their rights had been settled and that they had consented to projects, the district administrations have now been asked to do the same. This exercise must be completed in 60 days, irrespective of the number of project-affected villages or the complication of the process. Moreover, prospecting for minerals in forests are now exempt from having to acquire the consent of local gram sabhas or settling tribal rights.
  • No public hearing for coal mines below 16 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) that want to increase output by up to 50% and those above 16 mtpa wanting to expand by up to five mtpa. Instead of individual clearances, now mines can seek approvals in clusters.
  • To turn the clock back, the new government is considering as many as 19 amendments to the new Land Acquisition Act. These include dilution of the local consent requirement for public-private-partnership projects, removal of the social impact assessment requirement, delinking compensation for land from market value, relaxing the time limit for completing acquisition, not returning unutilised lands to the original owners, giving states overriding discretionary powers, etc.
  • The Ken-Betwa river-linking project that will drown more than 40 sq km of the Panna tiger reserve has been revived.
  • The new government also approved field trials of 21 genetically modified (GM) crops, including rice, wheat and maize (beforeputting it on hold under pressure from the RSS).
 
This was and remains the perenial problem. Modi had a window of opportunity to make the structural changes that his majority in parliament allowed. He failed because the vested interests in India are part of this government. They will not allow the changes to the byzantine legal and red tapocracy that would allow Indians to unleash their creative potential. The BJP does not want changes much and believes talking the talk and marginal fixes will allow "make in India" to work.

It wont.

India needs root and branch structural reforms that the backers of BJP will resist tooth and nail as will the BJP, who will feed the cybermonkeys with catchphrases, loud proclamations of intent, and marginal tinkering at the edges.

This too will fade.

If you win a majority as substantial as BJP, then in a democracy, if you intended to make those changes you make them quickly as the democratic divident begins to dissolve quickly. Each month that passes by will reduce BJPs ability to make substantial changes and India will again drift into a new normal not that different to the old normal.

No goverment in India's history had such a huge mandate to cut the bureaucracy, stupid rules and regulations that imprison all but the richest from participating in India's economic transformation and it will be the most severest indictment on democratic means to acheive this much needed and essential change.
 
Nope. In any case this is not a discussion on coal, so that is for another thread. On topic please.

On topic
He has said that there is improvement but very little not zero
& you should not use Lies as thread titles & everything will become clear in 2-3 years though i can point out some achievements of govt till now if you want
Like how only 18% road projects were getting implemented during the glorious rule of the UPA & how in just few months it has reached 75%

With government push, road projects race to finish- Study - The Economic Times


Quartz srsly :woot::woot:
 
Ease of business is the single most important problem in India. in any case that comment came later. he is talking generally:

"After nine months, there is a little bit of impatience creeping in as to why no changes are happening and why this is taking so long having effect on the ground," Mr Parekh, who is a leading industry voice, told PTI on Wednesday

The lack of change in ground realities has been signaled by other industry leaders too. Earlier this month, R. Shankar Raman, CFO of L&T said, "India Inc, while it continues to be aspiring, is still on the wait and watch mode, waiting for these (government) policies to become sustainable businesses opportunities."

You'r whitewashing is looking increasingly silly. No one has any confidence in him anymore.


So what should he do ?
Perhaps you want extra concessions for corporates like your UPA did through corruption.Sorry now you are jumped from Pappus Congress roof to AAP.roof.


Sorry that is not going to.happen.

And this is a good thing you think? I've seen similar comments especially by modi bhakts. You really think this is a great thing?

So.you are telling us that Modi should also give that coal to private firms like your MMS did?
