PM's new vigour should revive investment - but may not return India to nine per cent growth.
It has taken three-and-a-half years for the Congress leadership and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to realise that without Andhra Pradesh they would not be in power at the Centre, and will not be able to do the same in 2014 without this southern citadel standing by them.
If the dream team was responsible for the economic growth between 2004 and 2008 they are responsible for the fall between 2008 and now.
But make no mistake. Tomorrow when the red and green buttons are pressed, Manmohan Singh's vision is on test, sure, but it's a bigger test for Prakash Karat & Co.
