QUOTE OF THE

DAYRaghuram Rajan exit: Will economic experts reveal reality behind doomsday predictions?

For the past month or two, volumes of opinions and news reports – in print, digital and broadcast – articu-lated by a number of leading economists and financial experts have been telling ordinary citizens that they should thank their stars for living in India at a time when Raghuram Rajan is the RBI governor. Based on their analysis, I was indeed thanking my stars. The sum and substance of their argument was that India would be doomed in case Rajan ceases to be the gov-ernor, the foreign capital will leave on a supersonic jet from India, the economy will collapse, and though India will still be called India it would look more like Afghanistan, Sudan, Ethiopia et al. Come 4 Septem-ber, no NRI will ever again believe in India. No in-dustry and business will ever believe in India. RBI without Raghuram Rajan would be like Agra without Taj Mahal. Now was the time to curse the stars, for it looked like Rajan was leaving. They meant to say that the highest ever inflow of foreign capital, achieved in the year in 2015-16, which Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been boasting about – US$ 55.46 billion as against US$ 36.04 billion during the financial year 2013-14 – was an intellectual heist. The FDI figures were correct, they said, but the inflow was not because of the so called dynamism of Modi, or the Make in India, Digital India mantras etc, or the meetings he had with NRIs, heads of governments and nations and with business leaders across the globe. It was because, collectively and individually, the world saw Rajan as the chief of the central bank and because of the con-fidence he inspired in them. So in a way, for foreign investors India was Rajan and Rajan was India, as simple as that. But didn’t we hear something like this a few decades ago, India is Indira and Indira is India, albeit in an entirely different context. I believed the learned writers. After all, they are supposed to know about this intricate subject. They have travelled the world and have high sounding degrees from some of the best known institutions in the world or had served at fanciful positions in various governments at the Centre or been part of some research institute or the other. It also didn’t matter that the industry, which till other day, was said to be unhappy with Rajan’s resis-tance to cut interest rates but suddenly they all came together to tell that Rajan was a superman, a demi-God who has taken avatar in India during the worst of times. He was as badly needed to be there at the helm in RBI as a good monsoon in the parched lands of Vidarbha. I started wondering if it will be alright when Rajan leaves after another three years term, say with an extension till 2019, or if he is so indispensable then why not give him a special term – retirement at 75 so that in next 20-23 years he can take India on a course where nothing can ever hamper us. People would not even care to elect a prime minister or a chief minister, or who it was, for Rajan’s RBI will take economy to a path where even Saudi Kings would envy us. I had my self-interest. I didn’t want a deluge to hit India and by consequence my family, friends acquaintance and so on, I secretly began praying for better sense to prevail on the Modi government so that it gives an extension to Rajan. Some of us had seen and even suffered in the 2008-09 meltdown.

sent, has mainly asked two questions — one, if the proposed amend-ments are defeating the core principle of the original statute; and two, if the amendments are against agrarian reforms. The Gujarat Agricultur-al Land Ceiling Act was meant to bring equality by giving surplus land to the landless poor. How-ever, one of the amend-ments to the Act propos-es to amend its preamble. “…in the preamble, after the words ‘for ensuring the full and efficient use

thereof’, the words ‘or for the allotment for in-dustrial purpose or for the development thereof or for any public pur-pose’ shall be inserted,” it stated. The amendments propose that now, sur-plus land of the govern-ment under the Gujarat Agricultural Land Ceil-ing Act could be allotted to an Urban Local Body (ULB) and the ULB, in turn, could allot the land to anybody for any “pub-lic purpose”. The term “public purpose” has not been defined.

Inclusion of 104 villages under Surat Urban body: 10,000 farmers, Patidar outfit leaders take out protest rally

Farmers of 104 villages from Kamrej, Palsana, Olpad,

Choryasi and Mangrol talukas commenced their vehicle rally

from Pal Ginning mill compound at Jehangirpura

‘Jay Patidar, Jay Sardar’. The representatives of the farmers led by Jayesh Patel, Darshan Naik and others handed over a memorandum to SUDA chief officer JB Patel urg-ing to denotification of its merger plan. In the mem-orandum, the farmers had

mentioned that they were against inclusion of their villages in SUDA. They also urged the state gov-ernment to withdraw the notification to include 104 villages in SUDA and also the proposed development plan -2035. They also is-sued a 15-day ultimatum

to the state government to issue the denotifica-tion. Darshan Naik, Surat District Panchayat mem-ber said, “Majority of the farmers from these villag-es are producing sugar-cane and paddy, and they supply sugarcane to sugar cooperative factories in this area. This will render many farm labourers job-less. Over 40 percent fer-tile lands of the farmers will be acquired for devel-opment works resulting in great loss to them. The dis-placed farmers will face water and other problems in their new lands.”

After Ruling Congress failed thrice to pass the annual budget of Gondal taluka panchayat, the Gu-jarat government on Mon-day dissolved its general board and appointed an administrator. “We re-ceived a notification from development commis-sioner today ordering dis-solving the Gondal taluka panchayat with immedi-ate effect. The action has been taken after the rul-ing party failed thrice to pass the annual budget. It was incumbent upon the party to get the budged passed by March 31. But it couldn’t do so in two at-tempts. The government

gave it one more opportu-nity. But its third attempt also remained unsuccess-ful, warranting the disso-lution of the body,” dis-trict development officer (DDO) of Rajkot, Manoj Kothari said. Kothari said that the state government can take action if the rul-ing party’s budget pro-posal fails twice to get approval of the general board of a taluka pancha-yat. The government also appointed Gondal sub-di-visional magistrate Ha-numantsinh Jadeja as the administrator till a new body is elected.
