Manmohan Singh has changed millions of lives: Time magazine

New York, July 12 (PTI) Indian Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh's speeches may not be winning him followers but his
works do and his actions have "changed tens of millions of
lives for the better", Time magazine has said.

The American publication has said that Singh first as
Finance Minister and then as Prime Minister since 2004 has
made the world's largest democracy one of the fastest growing
economies through radical economic reforms.

"... he won the vote and then a sweeping victory in
India's general elections this year. It is not Singh's
speeches that win him followers; it's the fact that first as
Finance Minister and since 2004 as Prime Minister, he has led
India through a series of radical economic reforms that have
made the world's largest democracy also one of its
fastest-growing economies -- and protected the poor too.

"It is Singh's actions that have changed tens of millions
of lives for the better, not his words," Time said in an
article published online.

Singh-led United Progressive Alliance was voted back to
power in the general elections earlier this year.

Singh is also credited with the economic reforms which he
kicked off as Finance Minister in the early 1990s. PTI RAM
