{image-manmohan singh_15072008.jpg news.oneindia.in}New Delhi, Jul 15: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's meeting with Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani on Monday, July 14, had nothing to do with politics or corporate affairs, the PMO clarified on Tuesday, July 15.
''The
Prime
Minister
meets
corporate
leaders
all
the
time
to
discuss
national
economic
issues
as
any
leader
of
a
modern
economy
would.
People
of
India
know
Dr
Manmohan
Singh
better
than
to
believe
that
he
would
get
involved
in
corporate
affairs,'' PM's
Media
Advisor
Sanjaya
Baru
said
in
a
statement.
Chairman and Managing Director of Reliance Industries Limited, Mukesh Ambani, met the PM and Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Monday. He also met Petroleum Minister Murli Deora and some other senior officials including Cabinet Secretary KM Chandrasekhar.
The meetings assumed significance as they came soon after Samajwadi Party General Secretary, Amar Singh, called for the Prime Minister's intervention in the corporate battle between the Ambani brothers.
