Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C), (D)

The correct options are
B He allowed free flow of foreign goods to India.
C He introduced Telecom revolution.
D He supported Satellite technology.

Rajiv Gandhi brought changes to the country’s economic policy. In the first budget of his government in 1985, he moved towards making the system liberal by allowing a free flow of foreign capital and goods to India. He removed the controls imposed earlier on the economy. The ‘telecom revolution’ introduced by Rajiv Gandhi helped the telephonic communication spread its roots in India by using satellite technology.
