"The sovereign has the right to set the (inflation) target,
and then the central bank has the mandate to take steps
to achieve that target... I think there is a degree of
convergence on the way to go forward, and I sincerelyhope that in the years ahead we will be able to take this
forward," Chidambaram told reporters at a press
conference with Rajan by his side.

that target. I think that is the correct approach."
