For several years, Rajeev has been fighting the almost complete takeover of cities by builders, contractors & vested interests with support of politicians and bureaucrats - subverting the hopes of our cities to be well-planned, citizen and neighbourhood based. The Government has finally heard the voice of the people, and made use of this opportunity to embark on a deep citizen centric, governance reform approach to urban transformation. The Government has announced the details of its Smart Cities & AMRUT (Atal Mission for Rejuvenation & Urban Transformation) programs to build new cities & rejuvenate existing cities.

Rajeev has been spotlighting the issue of NPAs, crony capitalists escaping their obligations of paying of loans, and the deteriorating health of PSBs since 2010, both in Parliament, through his speeches and Parliamentary Questions, and outside through letters and articles. He urged successive Finance Ministers to take rigorous and swift remedial measures to reduce the concentration of risk, arrest the decline in the financial performance of banks and to take action against defaulting promoters before it becomes 'Too Big to Fail'. He has repeatedly urged the government that the re-capitalization of PSBs must come with deep re-structuring and reorganizing of these banks and how they are managed. The Finance Minister in his Budget 2016 speech announced structural changes like the announcement of Banks Board Bureau; expediting the implementation of the Indradhanush plan; addressing structural and regulatory issues in stressed sectors like Power, Coal, Highways, Sugar & Steel; amendment in the SARFAESI; and bringing the Insolvency bill all of which Rajeev has been suggesting for long period of time.
