Ratan Tata says PM Narendra Modi is a 'doer'

Chairman Emeritus of Tata Sons Ratan Tata on Wednesday termed Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a 'doer' and said he should be given more time.

"Modi has track record of being a doer. Gujarat is an example and one should go there to see it," Tata, who retired as chairman of Tata Sons two years back, said at an interaction organised by Ladies Study Group of Indian Chamber of Commerce in Kolkata.

He said that since 1984, there was a paradigm shift in India's democracy with a political party getting single majority, unlike coalition government or a minority government.

But the government machinery had now shifted to "quick acting and growth-oriented (work) rather than government-oriented", said Tata.

"We should given them more time," he added.
