Seriously, why would any sane economist listen to him? He thinks there is no reason to lose his sleep in poverty; in fact, that should be a reason to lose sleep. He talks about growth, which is not an issue; that would mean he is a lame economist, but he is fairly immoral, which worries, especially when he has a position in this government that influences policy.
Ask him about demonetisation and unemployment he will struggle.
