In re: A social media post claiming that Mr. Vajpayee 'reprimanded' Mr. Nehru for something.

I am no fan of  Jawaharlal Nehru. However who was Vajpayee to 'reprimand' him?

In any case the Ashoka Hotel remains profitable to this day in spite of mismanagement & corruption which has continued even after 2014 - when India supposedly got real independence.

Note: There are opportunity cost aspects BUT the whole of Lutyens Delhi including most of the Central Vista et al is an opportunity cost. Permanent jobs which governments STILL give out too are opportunity costs benefitting one family & taking away from many others.
