Bad losers

FE writes on Anil Ambani group’s petition challenging the award of the Mumbai and Delhi airport privatisation contracts to the GVK- and GMR-led consortia:

The story of opening up India’s infrastructure sector has been marred often by unnecessary litigation and unfounded allegations of corruption. Every sane Indian knows that rapid and massive growth of infrastructure, through public investment, public-private partnerships and privatisation, lies at the core of India’s sustaining and accelerating its economic growth. Yet, time and again, politicians with deluded ideologies, and private players who have not got some contract for legitimate reasons, have tried to delay the process.
