Great interview and thanks to Subramanian Sir. It’s not acceptable how a senior journalist is posing questions that are not data based. The show loses its credibility with such level of preparation from the journalist.

[@alokraj3128]

Does one become a senior journalist simply by growing old? There is a better word for such people - senile.

[@pramodtanna4182]

Excellent answers on Indian economy from a renowned economist. He is realist and hope Rajdeep accepts and understood what was said.

[@seshagirivemuri6503]

Wonderful Subramanian Sir, you have answered all pessimistic points raised by Rajdeep. Rajdeep may claim journalistic right to question, but his past history reeks of his anti government stance like the opposition parties,who criticize every government move. I am yearning for Vajpayee like opposition in Narsimha Rao era.

[@tanmayhaldar7565]

Or even Manmohan Singh era....when MMS government was supported from outside by BJP on the "nuclear deal" when left parties pulled support from UPA - Just because it was good for the nation

[@udaysathe3450]

Also, responses like Mr. Subramaniam's afford an excellent opportunity to blind skeptics/critics in Bharat (and abroad too) to realize that their skewed narratives will not always sell..... 😂😂

Today's Pakistan is better than India was in 1990 after full five years of Rajiv Gandhi. The country had to pledge all its gold in British Bank and we had to get the World Bank loans to recover it back, ofcourse with it's condition to liberalise and globalise the economy.

Fantastic Interview. Hats off to Subramanian to stem pessimist Rajdeep in all aspects of our economy. While RDS was trying to paint a dark economy and not giving credit to the current govt. Dr. Subramanian articulated the steps and measures taken by the Modi govt. without mentioning it, in the right direction. In the duel between the two, RDS lost trying to pin Dr. KS down. In as much as Rajdeep tried to say India is not as good as being projected, Dr. KS should that India is shining and how. Great interview, and may we have many more people like Dr. KS in India.
