Asit Ranjan Mishra New Delhi
The Narendra Modi government has a somewhat mixed record in politics, economics, and welfare, but with clear successes, says Martin Wolf, chief economics commentator at the Financial Times. Speaking from the sidelines of the Kautilya Economic Conclave, Wolf, in conversation with Asit Ranjan Mishra, warns that big problems are emerging due to relatively weak investment in the private sector. Edited excerpts:

The Narendra Modi government recently completed eight years in office. How do you rate its performance?

That’s quite complicated. From the outside world’s point of view, it would be seen as a mixed record. There are very clear realities.
