Remembering Rajaji (and the AAP would do well to do so too!)

On his 135th birth anniversary, we pay our respects to Chakravarti Rajagopalachari, whose economic philosophy is one of the key sources of inspiration for the Subhasbadi Swatantriya Dal. With Rajaji, we advocate minimal government intervention in the economy, with a focus on the provision of basic needs. The past five years have shown India that wanton public spending on boondoggles like NREGA and the Food (In)security Bill will only lead to structurally high inflation, which hurts the poor most. We are with the AAP on its fight against corruption, but would caution it against becoming a C-team of the Sonia Congress on economic policy.
