Among all the failures of the UPA govt on the economic front, the slowdown in infrastructure sector is the most disappointing.
Only a few months ago, many in the media had been arguing that the emerging market economies (EMEs) had now acquired a growth momentum of their own and were immune to the booms and busts in the developed countries. Less than six months into the financial crisis that originated in the United States, the "decoupling" thesis is biting the dust.
