A trademark of a good politician, many say, is to provide information, but no real answers. By that standard, Madhya Pradesh is home to some of the world's best politicians.

When the government was asked a tough question by the Opposition, it provided 8,000 pages of information. Delivered by an autorickshaw to the State Assembly.

Somewhere amidst those documents is the government's explanation for a rather simple question put to it in July - how many factories and industrial units cleared anti-pollution requirements between 2006 and 2009? The Opposition claims that the state's Pollution Board is overlooking environmental concerns and issuing certificates to factories that violate basic pollution laws.
