P.V. is from Congress party. Nobody from the party-in-power(ie. Congress) had the ability(or the will) to usher in economic reforms. Only PV could do it. Chidambaram had the tact to deal with and understand the bureaucracy, which Manmohan did not have.
Manmohan was not an active Congressman. There were and are dime a dozen quality economists/bureaucrats in India. P.V.needed a high quality stenographer-clerk for taking down the reform notes in shorthand and them make an official document out of it. Yes, Manmohan was a damn good clerk, with a doctorate in economics.
