Speaking at the India Today Roundtable Keralam, Satheesan was asked whether he saw himself as Keralam’s equivalent of Manmohan Singh at the time of the 1991 economic reforms, and whether his government was preparing for a fundamental shift in the state’s development model through public-private partnerships. #VDSatheesan# #Keralam# #KeralaEconomy# #EconomicReforms# #ManmohanSingh# #IndiaTodayRoundtable#
