It’s time for economic democracy

New Indian Express  

When I was working as cabinet secretary, then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh would insist on me meeting him one-on-one at least once a week. I would say that the income pyramid is still skewed, with billionaires getting richer and the middle classes, lower-income groups and destitute still deprived of hope. I recall a luncheon at the Civil Services Officers’ Institute in Delhi, where I expressed hope that there would be a balance in parliament after the election and that there would be no overwhelming majority. A colleague who had strayed into politics told me the BJP would come back to power with a similar, if not greater, majority.
