Keralam Chief Minister VD Satheesan drew a comparison with former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's economic reforms of 1991, saying the state needs to move away from conventional practices and undertake a new round of reforms, including greater private-sector participation. 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#

“The mischievous and indefensible allegations against his integrity have been exposed as hollow, and his record as Prime Minister is increasingly being recognised for what it was: a period of decisive economic, political, and social advancement in Indian history. History will indeed remember Dr. Manmohan Singh kindly as a quiet, gentle but a most consequential Prime Minister.” Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Smt Sonia Gandhi ji.
