Stressing on the need for future planning to the development of a nation, industrialist Sunil Kumar Munjal said political leaders in India care only till they are in power.
    
"Chinese leaders draw up plans for 50 to 100 years into future while Indian political leaders only care till the term they were supposed to be in power," said.
    
Munjal, the Chairman of Hero Corporate Service Limited Sunil Munjal said at the 7th Annual Foundation Day lecture of Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar (XIMB) here.
    
He also touched upon entrepreneurship, the growing importance of rural management and business ethics among other things.
