India's best finance minister? Tell us

February 14, 2007
Over the years, many finance ministers have played their role in shaping the economy.

While Morarji Desai donned the FM's hat thrice, Indira Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru  and V P Singh also looked after the finance portfolio.

Since the economic reforms began in 1991, 16 Union Budgets have been presented by four finance ministers -- Manmohan Singh, P Chidambaram, Yashwant Sinha and Jaswant Singh.

Manmohan Singh, P Chidambaram and Yashwant Sinha presented 5 Budgets each, while Jaswant Singh presented one Budget -- excluding his interim Budget in 2004 before the general elections.

P Chidambaram is all set to present the next Budget on February 28.
