Govt spend will boost infra but concerns around public private partnership not addressed: Vinayak Chatterjee.

" I am not particularly optimistic (about the sucess of the PPP model in India) because I have not seen any, shall I say, strenuous or concerted attempt to address the ills of PPP, to address the issues that made PPP fall," Chatterjee said.
