I always fail to understand why does government" employees conscience suddenly is pricked when we talk about development and modernization with Public Private Partnerships (PPP) or to an extent Privatization We have been traditionally seeing the inefficiency of AAI authorities in the maintenance of the "International" airports and I think they have to reflect the country's image and we always project a very bad picture, at the first instance in the toilets or washrooms... where we can never find an iota of "clean" image. We should understand that when central "Government" proposes something, then there is a lot of debate that goes in and a decision is taken in the "welfare" of nation as a whole (although this might not be true all times... but lets assume) and the consequence is better facilities and amenities to public. Now, the logic of "cost plus Tariff" might increase the prices... is definitely true... but do you think that we still have to subsidize people who are traveling by air to counteract their "time value" of money? Would one think paying say Rs. 100 extra when he/she is paying something like Rs. 10,000 as the minimum for the commodity... of course NOT!
