PM Modi 'ahead of us', his visits need to be backed up with action on ground: Raghuram Rajan

Reserve Bank Governor Raghuram Rajan on Wednesday described Prime Minister Narendra Modi as being "ahead of us" but said his visits abroad need to be backed up with "action on the ground".

"I think it is changing positively," he remarked on the world view of India in the aftermath of Modi's foreign visits.

He is a "very articulate spokesman for India", he added.

"What we need to do is back up his visits with action on the ground which reinforces the good impression that is created," Rajan told NDTV.
The RBI governor, who has often been seen as not toeing government line on the monetary policy and other issues, acknowledged Prime Minister's initiative to market India as an investment destination but said the message of a strong Indian economy has to be backed up with action on the ground.
