I usually joke that they should hire Manmohan Singh as a consultant. He recently joined the parliamentary committee for economic affairs so he will have a say.
Btw, India has many illegals from Pak, the Hindus who once having crossed the border never go back. Police harass them, and they live a non-existent life, day to day, mouth to mouth.
I think, I told you the politics behind the agitations and finally the Assam Accord. It was not the illegal Bangladeshis.
I had an argument one day with my dad, many months back about the excess fat in their department, which is SPWD (State PWD). I wondered aloud the necessity of 100 clerks in their office, work which can be done by 2 people and 2 desktops. I was yelling project management, and scrum, and triage meetings, and how I single-handedly can turn around their unit from a loss making pathetic tax-payers cesspool, into a profitable venture. I came to know, that they have desktops, 10 of those, but still have the 100+ clerks. I got a lecture on Socialism. That we are a big country (by population), and the Government has to take care of all it can, with our tax-payers money, else there'd be riots. Which is why there is still a craze among C rung MBA college graduates to apply for a peon's job in a Government office.
The more the laws - Government can go after anyone who they see as a threat. The more the laws - work gets done at a snail's pace, and bribe reaches top echelons of the power structure. It's a vicious cycle. In Hinduism, we call it State Karma.

There was a saying that went in the US corruption occurs at the law making stage and in India it occurs at the law breaking stage. I think now its clear its done at the law making stage in India.
No party is going to address this because it makes them a lot. I don't know how Modi can tackle it.
But if you want India to move up the ease of doing business scale an effort will have to be made.
