CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu chief minister MK Stalin is banking on MIT-educated former US-based banker PTR Thiagarajan to play a major role in future in national politics and to steady the ship of the state. When Stalin, after his resounding success at the hustings in 2021, picked Thiagarajan as Finance Minister, eyebrows were raised in the traditional DMK political quarters, but the Chief Minister was adamant on naming Thiagarajan for the post. Thiagarajan is a product of MIT and has worked with Lehman Brothers in the US and with another international banking consortium in Singapore. After five world-renowned economists with divergent views on the subject Nobel laureate Esther Duflo, Raghuram Rajan, Aravind Subramanian, S. Narayanan and Jean Dreze were roped in as economic advisors to the Chief Minister, Thiagarajan proved that he means business and political observers and DMK watchers had to concede that Stalin was right and apt in his choice.
