In the aftermath of the Republic Day India-US summitand against the backdrop of global warming and weakoil prices, what rabbits must the finance minister pullout of his hat to lend credence to the pronouncementsmade by the prime minister last week and persuadeinvestors that feasible action will match lofty rhetoric?This article responds to that question with specificreference to energy. The PM told the business leadersgathered to hear him and US President Barack Obamathat his objective was not simply to push India up therank order in the “ease of doing business” index but tomake it the “easiest business environment in the world”.He said that he would personally monitor majorprojects and that “speed” along with “scale” and “skill”would be the tripod on which the government wouldfacilitate investment. The minister of state forcommerce and industry made a comparably absoluteremark in her introductory address. She said India hadalready the most liberal economic terms for foreigndirect investment. The CEOs must, no doubt, havebeen pleased. They may have wondered at thefeasibility of such a grandiloquent commitment, butnot at the sincerity of the PM’s conviction. But now,with the settling of the summit dust, they are askingthe question: How will the government cut throughthe thicket of regulatory procedures, discretionaryauthority and vested interests that make it so difficultto do business? Will it move forward incrementally,with a focus on cleaning up the mess left behind by theprevious government, or will it forge a radicallydifferent path? The former may improve our rank orderin the business index but it won’t move us to the topof the list. The latter may also not get us top billing,but it would leapfrog us into a significantly higherquartile. The answer will be searched for in the fineprint of the budget, for it is the next big economicoccasion. The Republic Day summit has focusedattention on clean energy, technology and globalwarming. The civil nuclear deal has beenreinvigorated and this should expedite the generationof nuclear energy. Solar and wind power have beenprovided a fillip with a $4 billion financial packagethough various US agencies. And though there wasno agreement to cap greenhouse gas emissions a lathe US-China agreement and the PM did not dilutethe government’s official stand that individualcountries bear “common but differentiatedresponsibilities” to mitigate and adapt to globalwarming, there was enough in the interstices of thepublic statements to infer that India and the US mightwell find common ground before the forthcomingParis summit on climate change. The PM did, forinstance, make clear that it was in our national interestto push the economy onto a low-carbon growthtrajectory. Against this backdrop, it would be asurprise if the FM did not dedicate a long paragraphon clean energy in his budget speech. The expectationis that he will look to deliver a robust and holisticpackage of fiscal incentives, subsidies, duty structurerationalisation and low-cost financing to supportrenewables and clean energy technology.

India blundered by ignoring Virender Sehwag, YuvrajSingh for ICC World Cup 2015: Abdul Qadir

New DelhiPakistan’s former leg-spinner Abdul Qadir hassaid the Indian selectorshave “committed ablunder” by ignoringexperienced cricketersVirender Sehwag andYuvraj Singh for theupcoming ICC CricketWorld Cup 2015.According to Qadir, 59,the presence of Sehwagand Yuvraj would havegiven the team liberty toplay with four regularbowlers. “I was surprisedto see that but Asian teamshave this habit ofcommitting blunders. Ifyou have players like

Sehwag and Yuvraj in theteam, it not onlypressurises the oppositionbowlers but also gives theoption of playing with fourregular bowlers,” Qadirtold PTI Bhasha. WhileSehwag set the tone forIndia’s triumphal marchto the title in the 2011World Cup with ascintillating century in thetournament opener inDhaka, Yuvraj wasawarded the Man of theSeries for his all-rounddisplay. “Yuvraj hadbowled brilliantly in thelast World Cup where hewas also the player of thetournament. I would have

also liked to see legspinners like Amit Mishraand Piyush Chawla in theteam since India does nothave intimidating pacebowlers,” said the formerchief selector of PCB.Qadir feels only one Asianteam will make the semi-finals of the quadrennialextravaganza. Grouped inPool B, India and Pakistanwill open their campaignwhen they lock horns onFebruary 15. “I think thatAustralia, New Zealandand South Africa willreach the last four and thelast team will be fromAsian subcontinentprovided England doesnot give them seriouscompetition,” Qadir said.He said that the much-anticipated match betweenthe arch-rivals will be themost crucial match of thetournament. “Theoutcome of India-Pakistanmatch will decide theirfuture in the tournament.

Caribbean cricket legendViv Richards Tuesdayheaped praise on Indianvice captain Virat Kohli,saying he has alreadybecome a One-DayInternational (ODI) battinglegend. Richards, who wasan integral memer of theWest Indies’ World Cup-winning squad in 1975 and1979, also listed Kohli inhis list of top 10 ODIbatsmen. Richards,

considered the mostfearsome batsman in the1980s, put SachinTendulkar at the summitspot, followed bycompatriots Brian Lara,Chris Gayle, Clive Lloyd,Australians Ricky Ponting,Matthew Hayden, India’sVirender Sehwag,Australia’s MichaelHussey, South Afrtica’sAB de Villiers and currentstar Kohli. “The last name

on my list, but not the leastby any means, is youngVirat Kohli. There mightbe some surprise regardingthis pick because he is veryyoung and has a lot ofcricket to play still. But inmy eyes, he is alreadylegendary,” Richards said.Kohli has scored 6232runs in 150 matches,helping himself to 21hundreds. “At such ayoung age he has twice thenumber of ODI centurythan in Tests and he is sucha confident player inlimited-overs. It is not tosay he isn’t so in the longerformat, but I really like hisaggressive style in ODIcricket,” Richards said ofthe Indian who hasrecorded 30 fifties and hisaverage is at 51.50.

Darren Lehmann denies Australiafallout with Michael Clarke

Australia coach DarrenLehmann has denied theexistence of a bitterbehind-the-scenes falloutwith Michael Clarke,saying he is “sick” ofspeculation over hiscaptain’s position.Lehmann also indicatedClarke could be fit forAustralia’s World Cup

opener against England inMelbourne on 14February, a match he hadpreviously been ruled outof with a hamstring injury.It is those fitness concernswhich lie at the heart of thealleged feud betweenCricket Australia andClarke, which is provingan unwelcome distractionbefore the World Cup andnext summer’s Ashescampaign in England.Clarke made a playingcomeback for WesternSuburbs in a grade matchagainst Gordon in Sydneylast weekend, scoring 51 inhis first action sincehamstring surgery inDecember. It came after the33-year-old sustained theinjury while scoring a

century in the first Testagainst India in Adelaideearlier that month, and hasled to fierce speculationsurrounding his availabilityfor the forthcoming WorldCup.Cricket Australia have settheir captain a much-debated deadline ofFebruary 21 for Clarke toprove his fitness for thetournament.

A long way to go for Djokovic beforehe breaks domination of 'Big four'

WellingtonWorld number one NovakDjokovic has claimed thatthere is still a long way togo for the new wave oftennis stars to break thedomination of the 'Bigfour' in tennis, after he wonthe Australian Open onSunday.

Australia are the runaway favourtiesto win the 2015 ICC World Cup

Australia are used to beingfavourites for the WorldCup. The four-timechampions are the mostsuccessful side in thetournament and are theNo. 1 ODI team in theworld Watching Australiacruise to victory in theODI tri-series againstIndia and England showedwhy they are again thefront-runners. It is nosurprise everybookmarker has them hasfavourites. The reasons forbelieving they will claimvictory in the final inMelbourne on 29 Marchare many. First, there is

home advantage. Australiahaven’t lost an ODI serieson home soil since 2009.This summer they havebeaten South Africa 4-1and easily dismantledEngland and India. Theyonly time they didn’t win agame in the tri-Series waswhen it rained all day inAdelaide. Australia willplay all of their matches -barring the game against

New Zealand – at home,and, depending on results,could play all theirknockout matches at hometoo. Second, Australia’sbatting line-up thrives infamiliar conditions. DavidWarner is the best openerin the world right now, andon Australian pitches he isbrutal. All three of his ODIhundreds have come athome, including oneagainst England just threeinnings ago. Aaron Finchis the perfect attackingfoil. While he does nothave the class of Warner,he has an excellent ODIrecord.

RBI cuts SLR to provide liquidity

In an attempt to providemore liquidity to thebanking system, theReserve Bank of India(RBI) on Tuesday reducedthe Statutory LiquidityRatio (SLR) by 50 basispoints from 22 per cent to21.5 per cent with effectfrom February 7. This islikely to pump in aroundRs. 45,000 crore to thesystem, which is likely toprod banks to cut theirlending rates. However,the RBI kept the shortterm policy rate (reporate), unchanged at 7.75per cent, which the centralbank had reduced by 25basis points from 8 percent on January 15. It alsomaintained status quo inthe Cash Reserve Ratio(CRR) at 4 per cent.SLR is the portion ofdeposits banks arerequired to hold in theform of gold orgovernment securities

before providing credit tocustomers. Repo rate israte at which the centralbank lends money tobanks, while CRR is theportion of total deposits ofcustomers, whichcommercial banks have tohold as reserves either incash or as deposits withthe central bank. “Giventhat there have been nosubstantial newdevelopments on thedisinflationary process oron the fiscal outlook sinceJanuary 15, it isappropriate for theReserve Bank to awaitthem and maintain thecurrent interest stance,”said RBI GovernorRaghuram Rajan in astatement whileannouncing the sixth bi-monthly monetary policy,here. “In order to createspace for banks to expandcredit, the SLR is beingreduced from 22 per centto 21.5 per cent. Banksshould use this headroomto increase their lending toproductive sectors oncompetitive terms so as tosupport investment andgrowth,” Mr. Rajan added.

10/9 majority,but Congresscouldn’t head Dolvan panchayat

Vyara,This is a story of what’shappening with GujaratCongress even in itscommitted pockets.It’s about Dolvan talukapanchayat of Vyara talukain tribal pockets ofsouthern Gujarat. Thenewly formed Dolvantaluka was separated fromVayara taluka by theNarendra Modigovernment. Out of tentaluka panchayatmembers, 9 were fromCongress and only 1 fromBJP in this talukapanchayat. This week,there was an election forthe post of president andvice president of Dolvantaluka panchayat. ForCongress, it was an easyelection. For BJP it was an

impossible one. Suppose ifBJP wishes to field itscandidate, there was noneto support his candidatureeven. But BJP wanted tocapture each and everytaluka panchayat, or atleast didn’t want to allowCongress to get power. SoBJP strategists joined thetask. While Congressfielded its candidate forTaluka Panchayatpresident post, BJP fieldedanother candidate from 9members of Congressgroup and declared itssupport. Not only this, butBJP managed to breakCongress group and 5members of Congressdeclared their support toBJP supported candidateof Congress group. Nowwhen BJP supported

Congress candidate hadsupport of 6 members,while Congress party’sofficial candidate hadsupport of only 5 members.When it became clear thatCongress’s officialcandidate would not win,Congress pulled back itsofficial candidate anddeclared BJP supportedmember of Congress groupas its official candidate. ButCongress’s trouble didn’tend here. Five members ofCongress party wrote aletter do districtadministration to form anew group and decided toleave Congress. Thus,technically at the endthere’s no Congresspresident in this talukapanchayat even after 10/9majority.
