Whose advice should the government follow anyway?

As the economic slowdown depeens, different government officials are speaking in different voices.

Niti Aayog’s Rajiv Kumar, on the other hand, said the liquidity crisis was the worst in 70 years. The PM Economic Advisory Council’s Shamika Ravi tweeted that India is facing a structural slowdown and a time-bound National Growth Strategy is needed.
