It seems that notwithstanding the global financial crises, India is set to become a high-growth state and more of a welfare state under the new government.
The so-called work programme of 2009-2014 has already been chalked out in the Congress party manifesto and there should be no political or other constraints in pushing it through.
There is a good chance then that by 2014, the economy would be comfortably chugging along towards a double digit GDP growth rate or may even have reached it. At the same time, the footprint of the state would be much larger in the welfare space.
