With this autoritarian regime heading the PSB’s ,its anyones guess how the data is put out. UN, Worldbank data are thrown out and only indigenous data ( provided by home grown Niti Aayog) is given limelight. So while your reading on the Rajan‘s tenure data may be right, one cannot say the same about this regime since the data itself is cooked up (data integrity)to serve one's own interest.

I would like to ask Dr. Rajan, if not Adani and Ambani what alternative does he thinks will build the infrastructure for India. Does he thinks foreign investors will come in and build our roads bridges and ports & power plants like what we are seeing happening in Africa by China.

[@imakesense4456]

Absolutely correct sir😊

[@arnabghosh567]

At one point he says India is democratic to soon on the second hand he says we should not only look into economic parameters, full of contradictions

[@arunsar7893]

He is Ok with Bajaj and Jindal (cause they were Congress MPs). Just not ok with Adani and Ambani.

[@sridharavignesh4848]

Stop advocating for crony capitalism. His point stands very simple, if foreign players think that they have to do business with these people for complying with the government then they won’t come. If you don’t keep the playground fair, players aren’t going to come to play. If not Adani and Ambani, who else? We have a population of 140 crores, there are crores of youngsters hungry for opportunity. They will come in if you allow them

One percent of our population controls ninety nine percent of our national wealth and profits. The marginalisation of the masses jas broken all previous records. Ever increasing poverty deprivation and destitution is the true face of India notwithstanding the concocted data and statistics. The regime which has legalised corruption has no answer to the soaring unemployment and market prices. Economically the position of India is more alarming than that of our neighbouring states. The purchasing power of the people has reached the negative mark. A couple of favoured families have totally monopolised everything including the market. The rule of East India company is back with a bang.We are beset with a proxy government pulled by the crony capitalists via electoral bonds. We are subjugated to a regime of raids and axtortion through agency atrocities. Democracy lies murdered. From its ashes emerges unlimited autocracy making a complete mockery of the constitutional values and institutions.

[@krishnanunnimadathil8142]

The solution to that is less government control and more private market participation. But the schemes of the current opposition harkens back to Indira Gandhi levels of state intervention which is primarily responsible for the current state of affairs with massive wealth concentration in the first place!

Admired Raghu for the dip he made when meeting the interviewer. Shows the humility of the man. He is a congress man now and I accept his criticism.
