FACT: India’s economic liberalisation initiated by the then Finance Minister and present Prime Minister Mr Manmohan Singh 20 years ago has come full circle and the time has come to launch the second phase of the programme so that benefits could also reach the common man. “We have to do more. Now is the time to give the economic reforms one more push so that the poor people of the country can benefit even more,” said Ficci Secretary General Mr Rajiv Kumar in his comments on the completion of two decades of the launch of the economic liberalisation programme.

OWL WATCH: Mr. Rajiv Kumar, please change the definition of your “poor people”. I think you are poorer than many FICCI members sitting beside you.
