The private business sector, which had hoped to work hand-in-hand with the Maoist government, feels gravely let down. Business leaders now feel that even documents they submit to the government will be used against them. Although the voluntary disclosure of income source (VDIS) scheme has been welcomed, businessmen fear that if the Maoists lose the next election and enter opposition they will again have to battle the terror of extortion. The business community is incensed enough to get together to launch a joint campaign. They are asking: why should we pay taxes to the government when we already bear the burden of extortion, and the government doesn't use the tax revenue to improve services and provide security. Industrialists still hope that an investor-friendly environment will be created and the chaos will end. But day in and day out we hear news of abductions of businessmen, extortions and even murder.
