"To be sure, there are strong arguments on both sides, as economists Deepak Nayyar (goo.gl/a3zktn) and Vivek Dehejia (goo.gl/u9bnQy) have shown in these pages." Today's Mint unsigned leader contrasts Nayyar and myself on whether to allow fiscal slippage or maintain fiscal rectitude.

My latest Mint column argues that the Modi government must hold the line on fiscal consolidation and not succumb to fiscal profligacy, and I conjecture that he has the political will to do so.
