Chandigarh, February 22: Union Commerce Minister, Arun Jaitley today said that the statecraft was a complex and delicate operation which could not be left in the hands of a person who was worried all the time about his or her foreign origin.
... Mr Jaitley said the future of the country would be decided by economic growth and not whose son or daughter would join politics and contesting for the coming parliamentary elections. He asserted that there had been a sea change in the general mood of the country and rapid economic growth had generated a new sense of pride. Cynicism had been replaced by self-confidence.
Mr Jaitley said India had missed the first opportunity to grow when industrial revolution bypassed it. This was now the second opportunity. Economic reforms and liberalisation launched in 1991 should have been started at least two decades earlier. The process of unleashing the energies of India was thus delayed by 20 years. Moreover, all five-year plans for the development of India, somehow, did not plan for the development of instructure.
... Earlier, the minister was welcomed by Mr Satyapal Jain, former BJP MP and Mr Yashpal Mahajan, president of the Chandigarh BJP.
