Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia has said the term 'Gujarat model' has become a "political currency" in the ongoing election campaign but he is not sure of its meaning.

"The term 'Gujarat model' has become a political currency in the election campaign, but I am not sure exactly what it means," he said. Ahulwalia was replying to questions whether he feels the 'Gujarat model' is a good one for the rest of India at a India business conference at the Columbia Business School here.

Appearing on a video link on last Friday, he told faculty, students and entrepreneurs that people describe the Gujarat model of development as the one having the highest growth rate and attracting foreign capital.
