       This is a thread on #RahulBajaj 's criticism of the NaMo regime, based on my 32-year experience as a business and economic journalist.

       Powerful business czars usually prefer backroom channels to voice their grievances against govt. That usually works for them. What Bajaj says is a measure of the environment today. Yes there are precedents from the past that NaMo acolyte rhetoric tries to mask.

       In the past too - before the NaMo  regime came to power  - many captains of industry have, however, spoken their mind, usually to express something that bothers them, but couched as reflecting a greater common good.The most obvious examples are those by influential IT industry honchos - Azim Premji and Narayana Murthy come to mind easily

       What makes #RahulBajaj ’s statement unique is the fact that his utterances were of a very general nature - about the general politcal atmosphere in the NaMo times. That is rare for an industry captain. On the spate of lynchings across the country, for example, I can’t recall a single captain speaking out.
