Need to further speed up decision making to beat China: Gadkari

With China seeking to position itself as the new leader of global economy in place of the US, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on Friday said India also needs to grab this opportunity as the world is looking at it with high hopes and it would need to further fast-track the decision making process.

Gadkari, who is here to attend the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting, said India also aspires to be the world leader and a global economic superpower and it would need to work at the same speed as China in terms of policies, administration and decision making processes.

"We are the fastest growing economy, but China is ahead of us in size. Their advantage as also disadvantage is that they are a communist country and they do not have a democracy," he said on whether India has missed an opportunity with China trying to present itself as the new champion of globalisation here at WEF.

"In our country, we have democracy and the good thing is that the Narendra Modi-led government is investment friendly and development oriented. Also, it is committed to fast-track decision making process and to make it a corruption free country," he said in an interview.

Still, the pace of decision making is faster in China than us, the Minister said, adding that therefore, it happens at times that there is an opportunity but someone else takes it away.

"So what we need to do is to work at China's pace in terms of our policies, our administration and at state levels.
