Manmohan Singh was ‘extraordinary’ but India economically stalled during UPA's regime: Narayana Murthy

Exuding confidence in the potential of the young generation to make India a worthy competitor of China, IT czar and Infosys co-founder NR Narayana Murthy on September 23 lamented that economic activities in India were stalled during UPA's regime despite the fact that Manmohan Singh, the extraordinary man was at the helm of affairs. "But unfortunately, I don’t know what happened afterwards. During Manmohan Singh's government, who is an extraordinary individual, for whom I have tremendous respect, somehow India stalled. Decisions were not taken quickly, everything was delayed. And by the time I left (HSBC), if China's name was mentioned 30 times, India's name was hardly found to be mentioned once," Murthy said as he credited former PM Manmohan Singh for 1991 economic reforms.
