Meanwhile, the Finance Ministry will turn headless from today, as Pranab Mukherjee braces for the presidential polls. Who takes charge of this crucial ministry could have a bearing on the sentiment temporarily. What eventually will matter is the kind of policy action that UPA II opts for to revive the comatose economy. The start today is likely to be sedate in the wake of a steep selloff in ‘western’ markets.
