2G SCAM: ADAG EXECS POINT INDIRECT FINGER AT BOSS

If their bail pleas are accepted, it would imply that the true beneficiaries are their bosses - including, perhaps, group chairman Anil Ambani. read more

EXPERT VIEWS

"The recent debt exchange deal Europe offered Greece was a rip-off. If you take into account the large sweeteners the plan gave to creditors, the true debt relief is close to zero. A return to a national currency and a sharp depreciation would quickly restore growth and competitiveness, as it did in Argentina..."

Nouriel Roubini
Economist
(On the biggest hurdle in meeting fiscal deficit) "The review of administered prices particularly of petroleum products is necessary. It is required primarily from the point of view of maintaining the fiscal deficit. Prices could be raised to the extent the upstream companies can provide support to (oil marketing) companies."

C Rangarajan
Chairman, Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council
"The remarks associated with me that I have praised the Gujarat chief minister are incorrect. It is very unfortunate that Leader of the Opposition (Sushma Swaraj) has misquoted me."
