United Progressive Alliance chairperson Sonia Gandhi on Tuesday assured India Inc that there was no question of the government going back on the economic reforms and that the recent momentum would be sustained.
"We are committed to reforms. There is no way we are going to go back on reforms," Gandhi said at a question-answer session at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit after delivering the keynote address at the function, attended by representatives from the industry and other sections.
"You may rest assured that the government would implement the economic reforms set out in the National Common Minimum Programme," the Congress president said.
Referring to the hurdles in its implementation, she said: "We are working in a coalition. There are slight differences of opinion here and there." However, she expressed the confidence that these would be sorted out.
The Congress president rejected suggestions about any threat to the UPA coalition due to the frequent pressure from the Left on various issues and maintained that the party-led government faced 'no serious problem' so far.
"A lot of it is exaggerated by the media. After all, you have to be in business and we are the provider of business," she said.
Gandhi expressed confidence that as and when issues come up, "we have devised arrangements by which we meet regularly. The Left and other partners meet with the PM, with us. There should absolutely be no fear."
