Politics alone can’t govern — expertise matters.
Strong leadership thrives when political authority works with administrative insight, not against it. Collaboration builds resilient governance.

Wrote this op-ed with @dasharijit and @sguptarawal. The uncomfortable bit: India isn't underspending on the social sector. It's spending without asking what it's actually buying. Thanks to @ThePrintIndia for running this.
