Former PM P. V. Narsimha Rao, who was the father of economic reforms, who liberalized the economy and mentored the economic reforms. It was his sagacious leadership which saw the move through. Credit must also go to his excellent relations with Shri Atal Behari Vajpayee in success of the move. Another aspect of his tenure as PM is that he provided able leadership to the country when world changed from the then bipolar to a unipolar world, with the collapse of the Soviet Union. It was a difficult phase in the life of the nation but Shri Narsimha Rao ably led the nation in that difficult phase.
