Kejriwal on being business friendly

After registering a police compliant against Reliance chief Mukesh Ambani, Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal  sought to allay industry concerns by saying his party was against crony capitalism, not capitalism. The former CM went to the extent of contradicting party leader Prashant Bhushan to assure industry leaders that AAP was not against private enterprise.
“We are not against capitalism, but we are against crony capitalism. It is a cause of concern when spectrum worth Rs 1.5 lakh crore is purchased and sold for Rs 6,000 crore within one week. This is not called business, it is called dacoity,” he said while sharing AAP’s economic plan at a CII event.
He also said it was not the business of government to do business, but rather focus on governance and create enabling policies. He listed three factors that would encourage business including simplifying taxes and processes, creating an enabling policy environment and reducing litigation.
The AAP chief said that a corruption-free government could also help businesses grow and his party was committed to making India free of corruption.
