No great deal in jumping numbers. The world bank report is mostly optics. The rankings of countries above India for example Nepal at 75 tells the story.

It is just another report which will give a shot for publicity rather than for reality checking. The world bank first should expand the assessment to five major metros covering the corners of India. Indian is just not Delhi and Mumbai. Much more action takes place in other major metros. How businesses experience in dealing with governments in various states should be captured. Well another campaign point for raising electoral heat in Gujarat. World Bank has not taken into consideration of disastrous demoneitzation and the poorly implemented GST.
