for a moment i thought this piece was written by sitaram yechury. The leftist psudo intellectuals have this thing about control over other peoples lives - reserve/license/control in name of poor while travelling in facny cars and staying in fancy houses and our expense. The only way for upliftment of poor - capital infusion / industry / entreprenuership is anaethema to them. If it were not for the Supreme Court, the better off, tax paying citizens of india would be robbed of all their right to property. Specific to ULCA & rent control - pl note the hypocrisy & irony - Politicos like deoras and businessmen like Nusli Wadia (Bombay Dyeing boss) live in a rent controlled houses, pays less than 500rs pm whereas we slog our bums off to live in 2room matchboxes for 40k. i can't wait for the day rent control is repealed!
