Click to play videoNew Delhi: Not all are happy with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's brand of economics. Former Professor in the London School of Economics, and well-known economist Lord Meghnad Desai says that he finds the PM's approach to reforms dodgy, though he believes Manmohan Singh's intentions are not.
Lord Meghnad Desai talked to CNN-IBN’s Karan Thapar about India’s economic reform process and what he feels India must do to chart a faster pace of growth.
Lord Meghnad Desai: Team Manmohan believes in reform, but team Manmohan operates in a coalition context.
I think they are trying to do it in a subtle way. You know, in a British playground - you have something called Dodge 'Ems. When you are in a Dodge 'Em car, all your effort is towards avoiding collision with another person.
Karan Thapar: And that is what Manmohan Singh is caught up doing!
Lord Meghnad Desai: That is exactly what Manmohan Singh has been doing. He is trying his best, and suddenly a big beast like DMK comes and his whole strategy has been to do it stealthily, quitely - he doesn't want to raise fear of change among people.
He knows where he is going, but can he get there the way he want to?
Watch the full interview with Lord Meghnad Desai in Devil's Advocate at 8:30 pm tonight.
