NEW DELHI: Indian businesses are worried about repercussions should they criticise Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration, billionaire Rahul Bajaj said in a rare display of a corporate leader expressing reservations about the government publicly.

"None of our industrial friends will speak about it, but I’ll say that openly, ” Bajaj told an audience in Mumbai on Saturday that included one of Modi’s most-trusted aides, Amit Shah. "You’re doing a good job, but despite that, we’re not confident you’ll appreciate if we openly criticize you.”
