Some even go to the extent of equating the legitimate legal proceedings against the new elite with an onslaught on the very essence of reform. If a small entrepreneur defaults, his unit is sealed. But the big fish have as much as Rs 70,000 crore outstanding loans to the banks. When weavers, farmers and owners of small units and their staff commit suicide,the system has special rules even to conceal the identity of the high and mighty among the defaulters. If you move in a BMW, you can mow down any number of street walkers.
Money can buy the witnesses and a whole case demolished.
This is going to happen in all cases. Like the Jessica Lal murder at a midnight bash at a water hole run by one of Delhi's high profile socialite. The accused is the son of a rich politician and the bar was being run in violation of rules. As reform progressed, Delhi's party circuit has also been expanding. A series of revelations in the past few months point to the ugly display of wealth and reckless habits of the emerging smart set.
