The PMO Responds
info_icon
Ashok Tandon, the PMO spokesperson, responds to Outlook's questionnaire regarding the role of the PMO in economic decisions.
It has been alleged by a senior bureaucrat who quit from the government recently that the pmo is over-extending itself to push economic decisions. How true is this?


Is the setting up of Group of Ministers by the pmo stifling the functioning of key ministries?
How would you define the role of the pmo in a liberalised economy?
Is the finance ministry's inability to wade through inter-ministerial gridlock the reason for the pmo becoming pro-active?
Does the pmo have an increasing control over the economic agenda?
How much of a role do influential business houses play in influencing decisions?
