NEW DELHI: Economist Montek Singh Ahluwalia praised former prime minister Manmohan Singh for his efforts to bring 138 million people out of the 'below poverty line'. Ahluwalia, former Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission of India, said that India grew faster in terms of economic growth during Singh's tenure than it had ever done. Montek further said that prime minister Manmohan Singh's tenure must be judged in its entirety. When asked whether Manmohan Singh was a better finance minister or prime minister, Montek explained that the two jobs are different since his achievements as the finance minister remain "historic" and during his tenure as the prime minister the country had achieved the highest growth.
