POLICY DECISIONS ARE LOBBY DRIVEN
2010-09-22 13:33 -During his interaction with editors, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had referred to the 'hard lobbying' by industry groups against certain provisions of the just passed nuclear liability bill. But their demand could not be met due to the opposition in Parliament. He then pointed out that the Indian suppliers will be the biggest beneficiaries of the massive nuclear power investment in the coming years. The tone and tenor of this part of PM's exposition was that such lobbying has now become normal part of the system, and there was nothing abnormal about it.
