it's not the case that nothing has been done about legacy laws. people forget that modi is the first prime minister to say that being an industrialist or an entrepreneur is not a sin. as recently as last month, he told IAS officers to look for laws that need to be cancelled at any level local, state or centre.If we want private players to step up exponentially for the country's needs, the govt needs to make their lives as easy as possible and make the rules sensible. One should look over ORF's report "Jailed for Doing Business" to see how far that is from the reality. The government has been the biggest impediment to growth, and they're unable/ unwilling to reform to the extent required.

it's a process, it takes time. if ORF has done a report, it's because Govt is asking for such data. ORF is a official partner of GoI after all.
just because news media doesn't report these things extensively, doesn't mean nothing is happening.
No govt can solve all problems one fine day, as with everything else they need to prioritise.
it's not like business folks are angels either. whatever needs to be done, let it be done on merits of the case.
