Ratan Tata says he has always supported the PM

Tata Sons says he spoke about coherence in implementation of government policy as a need rather than the strong words reported

Tata Sons has clarified that in his interview with the Financial Times, Chairman Ratan Tata spoke about coherence in implementation of government policy as a need rather than “lashes into the PM”, “rapping India”, “warning government of inaction” or “venal business environment”, as has been reported in the Financial Times and other media. 

These are terms used by the publications and not by Tata, in any manner, the statement says.

Tata, the statement says, has always supported Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, even when there was mass criticism of him and the last thing he would wish to do is to be a critic of the Prime Minister.
