Decency Personified
One of my life’s most cherished letters was from Dr Manmohan Singh in 2019 when he replied, “I am very grateful to you for writing a strong rebuttal to the controversy around the Accidental Prime Minister”.
On Friday, Former finance minister and senior Congress member P. Chidambaram reacted to Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s remarks on India’s 1991 economic reforms.
During a BJP Party function in Mumbai on Thursday, finance minister Sitharaman reportedly said that the 1991 reforms, taken up by Manmohan Singh when he was the finance minister during the Narsimaha Rao-led government at the Centre, were “half-baked”.

Taking to a microblogging site, Chidambaram added, “The FM is reported to have said that the 1991 reforms were “half-baked” Thank God, Dr Manmohan Singh did not serve over-cooked and unpalatable food like Demonetisation, multiple-rates GST and savage taxes on petrol & diesel.”
